Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is confident that Malaysia's target to achieve herd immunity as projected by the National Recovery Plan can be completed as scheduled following the increase in the supply of Covid-19 vaccines by the country's major suppliers.
He said towards this, the government would work harder to ensure that the supplies arrive in the country on schedule.
"I am aware that many people out there are asking, why not do this, why not do a lot more. Khairy Jamaluddin has informed us many times that we can do it if there are a lot of vaccines ... but we are limited and not because we don't want or the government is blocking it, no, we want to finish everything in a month or two.
"But we can't control that (vaccine supply) because the suppliers are from abroad, so we have to wait our turn, but it is guaranteed that the supplies will arrive within the scheduled time," he told reporters after visiting the vaccination centre (PPV) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.
Khairy, who is the science, technology and innovation minister and the coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, was also present. - Mkini
