LABUAN, April 9 — Labuan has one of the lowest Covid-19 vaccination rates for children in the country and this is partly due to misconceptions among parents, said Labuan health director Dr Ismuni Bohari.
“Labuan is among the states and federal territories having the lowest vaccination rates for children aged five to 11 years old. Dr Ismuni noted that some parents are still hesitant about vaccinating their children, worrying about side effects although the risks are extremely low and largely confined to adults having chronic illnesses.
“They have heard incorrectly that the vaccines only limit the severity of symptoms without preventing infections,” Dr Ismuni said.
