Kuala Lumpur: The Covid-19 vaccination programme planned by the government is important in order to create herd immunity, allowing the country’s economy to recover, says Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Mosti) official.
Mosti deputy secretary-general (technology development, commercialisation and STI services) Dr Mohd Nor Azman Hassan said when herd immunity is achieved, the transmission of Covid-19 could be better controlled.
“When we have a large group of people who have achieved immunity to a virus, we can move around and meet one another almost like normal. So the opportunity for us to open the economy is bigger because every citizen or individual has been vaccinated,” he said when appearing on the ‘Bual Bicara’ programme aired on Bernama TV.

Recently, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was put on the defensive when reports of him spending RM35 million to build community halls in his constituency emerged on social media. In the midst of a health crisis, the prime minister, after his government’s massive failure to contain the pandemic, did not seem to understand the priority, the needs as well as the sentiments of ordinary Malaysians who are watching the rising number of Covid-19 cases daily, and experiencing the pandemic getting closer and closer to their own homes.
