KJ: Parents will not be forced to vaccinate their kids

KUALA LUMPUR: Parents will not be forced to vaccinate their children against Covid-19 as the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for Kids (PICKids) is voluntary, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said the ministry wants to ensure that parents make an informed decision when they choose to allow their children to receive Covid-19 jabs.
