To date, he said a total of 4,761 out of 246,242 Health Ministry employees who were fully vaccinated had been infected with the virus.
"The only difference is that the complete vaccination of these health workers who are exposed to the infection daily, can protect them from getting severe infection and falling into a serious category," he said during a virtual presentation on Covid-19 vaccine with the media."We want the same situation for all the people...if vaccinated people get infected with the Covid-19 virus, they will be protected from getting serious disease,” he said.
Dr Hishamshah said in some foreign countries, when a person has been fully vaccinated and the country is close to achieving herd immunity, the person is likely to be able to do inter-state and inter-district travels. Meanwhile, Dr Hishamshah said the MOH was planning to make Malaysia a self-sufficient country in vaccine development so that it would not have to depend on vaccines produced by foreign countries.
He said it was based on the enhanced and strengthened vaccination capacity, so that more than 500,000 doses could be administered nationwide in a day.
