Free vaccine offer for kids but only until May 15


PUTRAJAYA: Parents of unvaccinated children aged five to 12 will have to pay for their children’s jabs if they intend to get their children vaccinated with their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine after May 15, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said the National Immunisation Programme for Children (PICKids) ends on May 15 and the government cannot afford to extend the deadline due to the expiry date of the vaccine stock.
