PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia’s Covid-19 immunisation drive is going full steam ahead towards achieving its aim of vaccinating 10% of the population this month.

The coordinating minister of the national immunisation programme Khairy Jamaluddin said as at June 29, a total of 7,824,912 vaccine shots have been administered in the country.

“We are confident that the figures will reach eight million by the end of the day, meeting the target that we have put for the month of June,” said Khairy at the weekly Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) press conference yesterday.
