The Prime Minister said 46.7% of the country's adult population have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine and 21.8% have received both doses.

He said since July 12, the National Covid-19 Immunisation Program has successfully dispensed over 400,000 doses almost daily. Muhyiddin said that the country hit a new record on Thursday with a daily vaccination rate of 507,050 doses, adding that this means 10,920,862 people have received their first dose and 5,104,054 people have completed their inoculation since the vaccination programme began.

"This achievement is in line with the target set and must be further improved so that we can achieve the target of 26 million fully-vaccinated Malaysians,” said Muhyiddin. "With vaccination, we will be able to help reduce the burden of cases in hospitals and severe infections," he added in a Facebook post on Friday thanking all Malaysians - especially frontliners - for contributing to the success of the NIP.

Almost coming to average 150 deaths A DAY!!

Hari2 menipu je kejenya

Good news sibuk buat statement .. no sound when it comes to empty stringers, not enough O2, katil canvas berderet kat HPJ corridors, Contract doctors resign 24 hrs , cases 13k after 8 weeks lockdown .. ni sume no comment pulak ? Face the music ! MuhyiddinYassin

Hello. Then please explain why positive cases are at all time high?

Interesting how there’s multiple doses. It’s almost like their experimenting on the people. Vaccine rate goes up, death rates go up too?

My whole family not even 1 dose start

Belum lagi kira yg dpt vaksin angin

Empty doses you mean

And how many of those had probably been injected without the vaccine?

But mostly in Klang Valley + Sarawak + Labuan. I think not scattered enough to have herd immunity by communities.😥

Is Selangor the only country in Malaysia? Ask other states lah Uncle

Not true!
