: Those who fail to attend the appointment to take the Covid-19 vaccination without reasonable grounds can be prosecuted, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah .
“Action can be taken if not present. As in other countries, those who cut the queue for vaccines can be fined. For now, we have not thought about what kind of action ....but something can be done,“ he said. “If there is a last-minute cancellation, we will need to find a way so that the vaccine is simply not wasted..there may be a ‘waiting list’ so we can give it to others. Instead of being discarded, we may be able to give it to frontliners who have not yet had the opportunity to take the vaccines, including our medical staff,“ he said, reminding Malaysians to appreciate, and not waste, the vaccines.
“Companies that sell the vaccines sell it ‘directly’ to the government and not to private companies. We will not allow its commercialisation as otherwise the rich will get the vaccines first and others will have to wait. He said if the people’s compliance with the SOPs and vaccine intake goes hand in hand, group immunity is expected to be successfully established in the country in the next six to nine months.
Through the application as well, he said the public can inform if they have symptoms or side effects after receiving the shots.
