Kota Kinabalu: The proposed guidelines for individuals who received two doses of the Covid-19 vaccines should be clear, consistent and include proper standard operating procedures (SOPs) to protect the health and safety of employees and the public.
Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Syed Hussain Syed Husman said the SOPs should still apply to those who completed the vaccination as there was no guarantee that they would be fully protected against Covid-19.
“Based on the experiences of other countries thus far, fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to move freely and that those infected suffered less severely, not requiring intensive care and thus do not over burden the public health system.

“But there is no clinical evidence (yet) to show that those who received two doses of the vaccine would be free from Covid-19. (because of) mutations and emergence of new and more virulent variants, he said in a statement on Monday (July 12).
