Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin also said the government had asked the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee to study the possibility of making vaccinations compulsory for all if the number of those registered in the programme was still far below what was needed to achieve herd immunity.
