PETALING JAYA: Senior citizens have urged the government to offer the AstraZeneca vaccine to them first instead of opening it up to the general population, considering that they are in the high-risk group.
However, Malaysians who will only be entitled to receive the vaccine under phase three of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme welcomed the government’s decision, noting that it would speed up the vaccination process.
Dr Pola Singh, 72, said he was prepared to take the AstraZeneca vaccine as being a male, the blood clot problem was a non-contentious issue.
“There is no foolproof vaccine or medication that does not result in side effects. I think it is safe for use. I believe in fate and faith.
