Time for wait-and-see is over, KJ tells vax-hesitant parents

COVID-19 | Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has once again appealed to parents of young children to come forward to get their children vaccinated against Covid-19.

He said only 30 percent of children aged 5 to 11 years old have received at least one dose of the vaccine, which is far below the ministry’s target. Meanwhile, the number of children being admitted into the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is on the rise.
