LUMPUR: The Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV) has been urged to review the AstraZeneca voluntary vaccine registration process, especially involving the elderly so as to increase the percentage of registrants from this target group.
Universiti Putra Malaysia Medical and Public Health Faculty medical expert Assoc Prof Dr Malina Osman said the matter should be considered in detail to speed up the vaccination process for the group and help reach the vaccination target of 80% of the population to achieve herd immunity.
She said an aggressive registration approach of engaging the elderly was better because the group might face difficulty registering online without assistance from others.
