Kuala Lumpur: 100 per cent of adults to be fully vaccinated by October, ahead of the original target of 80 per cent of adults by the first quarter of 2022.
This is how fast Malaysia is ramping up mass vaccination under the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme.
The intention is to defeat the rise in infections and death rates that has shocked Malaysians.
Malaysia is seeing 17,000 cases almost on a daily basis. But with a steady stream of vaccine supplies, vaccination is breaking daily records of doses administered.
Malaysia started vaccinating its people in late February. The programme is divided into various phases. The first phase was to immunise the country’s health and security frontliners.
The country is now moving into the phase of vaccinating foreign workers.
