Give CKD patients priority in vaccination programme February 1, 2021 KUALA LUMPUR – The government has been urged to give priority to patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in its COVID-19 vaccination programme.

They said priority should be given to groups such as patients on haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, patients with functioning kidney transplants and patients with CKD stage 3-4 (pre-dialysis).
