More groups to be included in second phase of vaccinations

Mar 25, 2021

The second phase of the National COVID-19 Immunisation program will include several new groups.

The program’s coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin says it’s because the number of second phase registrations is still low.

However, he has assured that the elderly and those in high-risk groups will remain a priority during the upcoming phase.

The new groups will be announced next week, along with the starting date for Phase Two.
