The Science, Innovation and Technology Minister said in a tweet on Tuesday that the 12-week interval is in line with recommendations by the World Health Organisation and is currently being practised in the United Kingdom.
Khairy added that the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee will also review applications by individuals who request shorter intervals between the two doses. "JKJAV will review applications for shorter intervals on a case by case basis, for example, students going abroad," he added.
