The decision by the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) to stop the vaccination appointments at 741 private clinics and ambulatory care centres in Selangor is not feasible and lacks prudence.

Even Health Director General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah had said the decision to stop administering vaccines at private clinics was done contrary to his advice. The CITF has to explain the sudden stop of the policy.
