Increased vaccination still the key to battling Covid-19, Says Khairy

PUTRAJAYA: With global Delta variant infections of Covid-19 rising, Malaysia will have to shift its focus from reducing the number of deaths and hospitalisations to case numbers, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme coordinating minister, who was asked to comment on a study by the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that suggested vaccinated people could also spread Covid-19, said vaccination remained important to bring down death and hospitalisation rates.
