Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pic) said the government had taken a whole of government approach which involves the Health Ministry; Foreign Ministry; Communications and Multimedia Ministry; Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry and the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV).
