The prime minister was administered the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine today, 21 days after he had received his first dose on Feb 24 to roll out the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

Muhyiddin arrived at the clinic at about 3pm and scanned his MySejahtera code, before he was taken to the vaccination room for registration and to receive his vaccine shot.

After receiving his second jab, Muhyiddin updated the MySejahtera app to show that he had completed his Covid-19 vaccine dosage.

He was then taken to a room and kept under observation for about half an hour to monitor for possible side effects.

Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah also received his second vaccine jab today.

Apart from Muhyiddin and Noor Hisham, four frontliners of the health ministry also received their second dose of vaccines today.

They are Dr Tan Yee Ling, Sheilla Mellissa Sikin, Khairul Asraf Mohd Yasin and Clement Marai Francis, who had also received their first dose on Feb 24.
