The Covid-19 vaccines are provided for free to all people in Malaysia.

He adds that employers are not allowed to push any administrative cost to their employees for their vaccination process.

Health authorities say they will now only receive non-Covid-19 cases and pandemic cases would only be attended at the emergency department level.
