THE government wants to immunise 10% of the population against Covid-19 by mid-July, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“Currently for every 100 doses that we administer, 30 doses are the second dose. So in order to immunise 10% of the population or 3.2 million people, we need to administer roughly 10.7 million doses, taking into consideration the ratio that I mentioned just now,” he said in a weekly joint press conference with Health Minister Dr Adham Baba.
