No more first doses under PICKids after May 15

KUALA LUMPUR: The first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for Children (PICKids) will not be offered after May 15, says Deputy Health Minister I Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali.

He said the deadline was set by the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force for Children (CITF-C) due to the low take-up of the vaccine, which could lead to high vaccine wastage.
