Spiking infections on heels of lagging vaccination rate raising concern 24 May 2021 / 08:57 H. PETALING JAYA: The numbers are alarming. New Covid-19 infections and the death toll have increased significantly, yet the vaccination exercise continues at a snail’s pace. Malaysia is reporting more than 6,000 new cases daily now, the highest in Southeast Asia, and neck and neck with the Philippines at the top of the chart. Yet, it has also achieved among the lowest rate of vaccination. World Health Organisation tracking data shows that as of last Friday, only 931,000 people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for just 2.9% of the population. In contrast, 1.44 million people in Singapore have received both doses of the vaccine, which is 25.3% of the republic’s population, more than nine times ahead of Malaysia.
