COVID-19 | The Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV) has come up with a guideline for vaccinators to identify categories of frontliners eligible for vaccination in the ongoing first phase, said Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy, who is the JKJAV's co-chairperson, said the guideline, which he signed together with Health Minister Dr Adham Baba, was drafted to address the issue of "queue jumping" among eligible recipients.
"This document specifies in detail who the frontliners are. We will make it available online.
"The issue of queue jumping will no longer arise when there is this clear guideline," said Khairy, who was speaking after a committee meeting today.
The science, technology and innovation minister yesterday called for whistleblowers to come forward amid more complaints of alleged attempts to jump the queue for the Covid-19 vaccine.
He was responding to consultant physician and nephrologist Dr Rafidah Abdullah who highlighted complaints that officials from the Kelantan state secretariat were trying to jump the queue ahead of medical frontliners.
