Malaysia will start giving recipients in the vulnerable and high-risk groups Covid-19 booster shots once more than 80 per cent of the adult population are fully vaccinated.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Sunday that the booster shots will be prioritised for front-liners, the immunocompromised and elderly people with comorbidities.
“This will start when the vaccination coverage for adults reaches 80 per cent,” he said.
“The third dose can increase the immunity levels among individuals who are at high risk for Covid 19 infections, as immunity levels might dip after a certain period of time,” he added.
