High-risk groups urged to get Covid-19, flu jabs


PETALING JAYA: Although the new Covid-19 variants that are driving the surge in cases is less likely to cause severe illness, health authorities and experts are urging those in the high-risk group to get updated vaccines and boosters, and mask up in crowded spaces.

They also urge those who are vulnerable – pregnant women, seniors above 60 and individuals with comorbidities – to get free flu jabs provided by the government through the MySejahtera App.
