Omicron is serious: KJ urges at-risk senior citizens to get double boosted before Raya

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Covid-19 Omicron variant is still considered a serious threat, especially for high-risk groups, says Khairy JamaluddinThe Health Minister said, therefore, optimal protection should be given especially to the elderly, chronic patients with high blood pressure and diabetes and those with immune system problems.

"The government has assured that Malaysian families can return to their hometowns with no restrictions to celebrate Aidilfitri. The ministry is satisfied with the trend of infection. Hospitals are not under pressure in terms of admission to intensive care units. He said unlike children, whose deadline for the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for Children was set for May 15, no closing date was set for the booster dose.

"I am urging senior citizens to get a booster dose. The vaccines have an expiry date, they can not be stored for too long, they will be wasted if not used," he said.

What do you mean by DOUBLE boosted? Did KJ urge for senior citizens to get 4th dose? Very confusing and misleading (?)!
