Mar 10, 2022

Parents have been reminded to get their children vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Health Minister says it is time for parents to do away with the wait and see approach, stressing that the vaccine is safe and effective to prevent severe infection.

Khairy Jamaluddin also says the vaccination rate under the PICKids program is still low.

This, as only some 30% of children aged 5 to 11 have received their first dose.
