KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The purchase of an additional six million doses of Covid-19 vaccine shows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s commitment and concern in ensuring that the government finds a way to fight the pandemic, says the Health Ministry (MOH).

In welcoming the announcement, its secretary-general Datuk Mohd Shafiq Abdullah said the additional vaccine doses would be able to increase coverage of the existing vaccination programme to include people from all walks of life.

"In terms of total breakdown, to date, 53.4% of the adult population are fully vaccinated. The entire MOH family will continue to stay committed and focused to successfully deal with the pandemic," he said in a statement on Sunday . In his maiden national address as the Prime Minister today, Ismail Sabri announced an additional purchase of six million doses of Covid-19 vaccine, which will arrive early next month.

The effort, he said, was to catalyse the achievement of herd immunity as in Labuan, where 90% of the adult population have been vaccinated. - Bernama
