The federal government is targeting to get at least 40 percent of Johor’s adult population inoculated by Aug 31 as it ramps up Covid-19 vaccination in the state, said Muhyiddin Yassin.
The prime minister said he had directed National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin and Health Minister Dr Adham Baba to look into the situation regarding the vaccination programme in Johor.
He said this was after Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar expressed disappointment over the relatively low vaccination rate in Johor.
“I can see that in Johor it (vaccination rate) is still low compared to some states which have reached 60 to 70 percent.
“So, the latest is that the minister has held a meeting with the menteri besar, and it is said that at least 1.5 million doses will be sent to Johor,” he told reporters after visiting the Felda Lenga mobile vaccination centre (PPV) in Pagoh, Johor, today.
