Johor to give COVID-19 vaccine to teenagers soon

Johor currently has no plans to administer a third shot of the COVID-19 vaccine to recipients.

Its Menteri Besar says instead of giving out booster shots, the priority should be given to school students below the age of 18, as well as those in university.

Johor plans to do so once its entire adult population is vaccinated at the end of next month.
