As cases rise, experts say it’s time to expand Operation Surge Capacity nationwide

With about 98% of the Klang Valley adult population having received at least the first vaccine dose under Operation Surge Capacity, public figures and health experts say attention should now be focused on other states in Malaysia.

He added that the strain on the healthcare system in Klang Valley was now more manageable, but other states were now at risk. He said low vaccine registration rates in certain states such as Sabah and Kelantan could be due to a lack of knowledge or technology. However, Sabah still has a relatively low vaccination coverage with about 37% of adults receiving at least one dose, with Kedah and Kelantan showing only slightly higher numbers at 43%.

“People are wondering why they need to get vaccinated when people are getting infected. As such, we need public assurance from the government.
