: The government has approved the administration of the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccination to pregnant mothers, which will begin at year end, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said.

“The vaccinations are given free of charge under the National Immunisation Programme ,” he told the media after the 2024 National Immunisation Day celebrations and the National Immunisation Summit here today. “We want the child to be immunised before they are three months, so they will receive immunisation from their mothers,” he said, adding that one dose of D-TaP vaccination would be given to pregnant mothers in their third trimester or between 27 to 32 weeks of pregnancy.
