Kuala Lumpur: With Malaysia’s per capita vaccination rate now among the fastest in the world, the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (Pick) is seen as an important shield in the fight against the virus and in achieving the herd immunity in the country.
Coordinating Minister for the immunisation programme, Khairy Jamaluddin
(pic), when explaining the programme in the Dewan Rakyat Wednesday, said the percentage of the country’s population having received at least one dose of the Covid-19 had surpassed some developed countries, like Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand.
He said the programme, involving an allocation of RM5.8 billion, initially targeted 80 per cent of the population to receive the vaccine by February next year, but had been brought earlier to December this year after taking into account the current development.
