PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has dismissed a viral video of its minister Khairy Jamaluddin saying that healthy individuals do not require Covid-19 vaccine boosters.

The ministry said that it was an old video, taken prior to the national booster rollout and recent developments related to Covid-19 variants.

"At that time, the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for the first and second dose was still in full swing," it said, adding that only 79.6% of the adult population had completed their vaccination at the time, which did not yet meet the target of 90% adult inoculation.
