PUTRAJAYA: The government has spent almost RM2.8 trillion on national immunisation programmes for Malaysians since 1957, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
He said this was proof of the government’s commitment to increase the level of protection for the people and achieve herd immunity to curb the spread of diseases such as polio and tuberculosis.
In his speech at the opening of the national-level Immunisation Day at the ministry here, he said the immunisation programmes that had been introduced by the government, especially for children, would continue to be carried out despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and enforcement of the movement control order.
