COULD Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin please consider giving Pfizer booster jabs to those who completed their AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccinations three months ago and not after six months?

This is because the effectiveness of the AZ vaccine is reduced to approximately 60% towards the end of the six-month period compared to the initial 90% just after the second jab is received.
