Kuala Lumpur: It has been more than two years since pharmaceutical companies came out with Covid-19 vaccines, including Pfizer which became the primary vaccine that proved to be the most effective in reducing death risk, and yet less than 50 percent of Malaysians have received their booster shot.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday entreated Malaysians to get their booster shot as yet another wave of Covid-19 cases is about to hit the nation with the expected holiday travel from China, which recently ended its zero Covid policy, as well as from other countries which are battling various sub-variants. He also said the government would monitor travellers to ensure Malaysians’ health and safety, and called for everyone to do their part to protect each other.

Many were regurgitating tripe from conspiracy theorists in the US and elsewhere. I was impatient for mine and when the government offered AstraZeneca to the general public, I took it. When boosters became available via walk-in in December 2021, I was one of the first in my company to get it. When it was time for a second Pfizer booster in June 2022, I went to Paradigm Mall in Kelana Jaya, Selangor, which was a walk-in Covid-19 vaccination site for anyone seeking to protect themselves.
