Jun 08, 2021

Up to 300 thousand COVID-19 vaccine doses could be administered per day by August.

However, the National Immunisation Program’s Coordinating Minister says this will depend on supplies arriving as scheduled.

Khairy Jamaluddin says that by ramping up the daily vaccination rate, he is confident that 80% of the population will be immunised by October.

Currently, over 10% of the population have been vaccinated, with more than 12.7 million people already registered for the vaccine.
