Health Ministry detects babies, children dropping out of immunisation during MCO


SEMPORNA: The Health Ministry (MOH) is tracing cases of babies and children dropping out of immunisation during the movement control order (MCO) to reschedule the required jabs, says Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali.

He said the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic caused the number of children to get various immunisations at health clinics to decline then, as parents were worried about the spread of Covid-19 leading to skipping the appointment date.
