Many having second thoughts on second booster


PETALING JAYA: With the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases this past week, those who previously did not consider getting a second booster shot are now having a change of heart.

The number of cases shot up from 1,918 on Monday to 4,020 cases on Thursday, leading many to say there is now a greater sense of urgency to getting the fourth jab – after the first two to be fully vaccinated – as a safety precaution.
