PUTRAJAYA – The second phase of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme will start on April 17 instead of April 19 as previously announced, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
He said the registration campaign needed to be intensified as people aged 60 and above and individuals with comorbidities made up only 30 per cent of the seven million people who had registered through the MySejahtera application.

“We need to intensify the campaign to increase vaccination registration through five methods, namely through MySejahtera or the Ministry of Health (MOH) website, contacting the hotline, going to district health centres and through non-governmental organisation (NGO) outreach programmes that also focus on the homeless and illegal immigrants,” he said.
