The vaccination process in the country has been slower than expected, but the government is doing their best.
And earlier this week, they've finally hit a milestone they set out to achieve by the end of this month.
Vaccination pace picking up
The New Straits Times reported that Malaysia has hit the highest number of COVID-19 vaccine jabs administered in a day.According to the COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV), all the hardworking medical officers managed to administer 150,000 doses on Tuesday (8 June) alone.
Out of the 150,000 doses, 105,722 of them were first doses, while the remaining 45,587 were second doses.
By achieving that figure, the government has reached its target, which is to achieve a daily vaccination rate of 150,000 doses by the end of this month.Kadar vaksinasi Program Imunisasi COVID-19 Kebangsaan telah melepasi jumlah 150,000 dos sehari.Kejayaan ini merupakan dorongan inspirasi kearah negara untuk mencapai imunisasi kelompok.Daftar untuk vaksinasi: https://t.co/m1joWOB4OE#LindungDiriLindungSemua pic.twitter.com/Wj57syRetS— Vaksin COVID-19 ??
