KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 The government will continue with the distribution of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine on a voluntary basis in the future given the success of its first opt-in application rollout yesterday, National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin said today.
