PETALING JAYA: As the government accelerates the pace of its nationwide vaccination programme, the number of Covid-19 vaccine doses administered daily is set to peak in the next two months, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The target is to reach a daily average of 389,589 doses in July and 433,796 doses in August, up from the estimated 177,567 doses in June.

Speaking during a virtual media briefing yesterday, he said that between June 1 to 18, a total of 139,016 vaccine doses had been administered on average everyday. “If Selangor wants to vaccinate 80% of its population to reach herd immunity, its average daily doses administered must touch 135,948 by July and 165,096 by August,” he said.“Hence, if we want to achieve our target, we need to hit daily vaccination in excess of 400,000 doses by August,” he added.

The biggest vaccine supply will come from Pfizer-BioNTech at about 44.8 million doses. These would cover 22.4 million Malaysians.The remaining 28.3 million doses will comprise AstraZeneca , Sinovac and CanSino vaccines, as well as those procured through the World Health Organisation’s Covax programme .
