MMA urges CITF not to scale back GPs’ role in Covid-19 vaccine drive

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — The Malaysian Medical Association has called upon the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force to continue allowing private general practitioners to vaccinate the public.

Dr Subramaniam said the country is three weeks away from vaccinating adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 years of age, and some 741 clinics in Selangor have been officially notified by ProtectHealth that vaccination appointments will be stopped. If abruptly ending the vaccination appointments at private GPs in Selangor meant otherwise, Dr Subramaniam added the CITF should thus provide a proper explanation.

Dr Subramaniam insisted on knowing how exactly the CITF arrived at this figure, as an explanation is necessary in this case.
