BAGAN SERAI: The Health Ministry does not plan to extend the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for Children (PICKids), which is scheduled to end on May 31.

Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali said the ministry had given enough time to parents to bring their children to be vaccinated for free and after this, the jabs would be available for a fee at private facilities.
