Immunise family members simultaneously regardless of nationality

FAMILY Frontiers welcomes the decision by the government to grant foreign nationals living in Malaysia access to Covid-19 vaccination at no charge in efforts to achieve herd immunity. Family Frontiers initiated the conversation on granting access to Covid-19 vaccination among permanent residents and non-citizen spouses and adult children of Malaysians in early January, and this is a positive step forward; we would like to extend our gratitude to the Cabinet.

Malaysia’s Covid-19 Vaccine-Supply Access Guarantee Commit-tee stressed that Malaysians will be prioritised in receiving the vaccination doses. Family Frontiers hopes that non-citizen spouses and adult children of Malaysians can be included in the rollout timeline along with their Malaysian spouse/parent. As they live together as a family, they should ideally be vaccinated together irrespective of nationality.
