“I Chose To Get Vaccinated With The Second Group of Frontliners Here” – Tun Dr. Mahathir

The vaccination program for COVID-19 is going smoothly and according to plan lately in Malaysia. One little problem that this country has would be to convince many people to take the vaccine because as many people know, there are certain individuals that are still refusing to get the vaccine even though it is for their own safety. There are misinformation everywhere that makes them even unconvinced to got the vaccine injection. Luckily, many people who have taken the vaccine prove that it will definitely do not bring any negative consequences towards the body.

One of them is Malaysia’s former prime minister that is Tun Dr. Mahathir who is a 96-year-old individual and he has finally received his first COVID-19 vaccination injection today at the Vaccination Centre located in Langkawi where he is the MP there. Tun Dr. Mahathir is actually categorized under the high-risk category individuals and his action has proved that there is definitely nothing to be worried about by receiving the vaccine.

According to his tweet, Tun Dr. Mahathir stated that he chose to get vaccinated for COVID-19 together with the second group of frontliners here in Langkawi after all the ones in the first group have been vaccinated before.

He said, “As a senior citizen, I want to ask those not only in the same age group as mine but also the younger ones to get vaccinated when their turn comes. This is an initiative that all of us must support”. He also added, “We want more people to be vaccinated to help curb the Covid19 pandemic. Alhamdulillah after the injection I did not feel anything unusual”.
