KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 — Coordinating Minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Khairy Jamaluddin has responded to a viral social media post purporting that political party members were getting prioritised for vaccination over the elderly.
In a tweet, he said the individual in the post is considered a frontline worker and therefore, eligible for vaccination.
“I have looked into the case of this gentleman. He works at Pejabat Kesihatan Lembah Pantai. Although in admin, he is still eligible. As are other admin staff at clinics/hospitals. I have no control over the shirt he chooses to wear,” Khairy said in a Twitter post today.
