In the recent live press conference of the book guide for the particular National Immunisation Program, our own Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced that Malaysia will be receiving the first batch of the Pfizer-Biotech Covid-19 vaccine on the 21st of February 2021.
Other than that, he also announced that the PM himself and the frontliners will be the first receivers of the vaccine on the 26th of February 2021. The second phase that will start from the month of April to August 2021 would involve high-risk individuals. The final phase involving adults over the age of 18 will start in the month of May 2021 and is set to end in August 2022.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin hopes that the vaccine will bring on herd immunity and thus putting the pandemic to an end. He also reassured that with the vaccines arriving, all economic sectors will be allowed to open including the tourism industry.
The government has recently launched a website called www.vaccinecovid.gov.my for Malaysians to get more information on the National Immunisation Program.
