KUALA LUMPUR: The number of people who have registered for Covid-19 vaccination through the MySejahtera app is still low compared to the total number of Malaysians and non-citizens eligible to be vaccinated, said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
He said that as of yesterday, only 7.6 million of the targeted 26.7 million had signed up through MySejahtera.
“I consider this figure as still small.”
He said reaching the targeted number was important to successfully contain the Covid-19 transmission and rapidly revitalise the country’s economy.
“There is a correlation between rolling off the vaccine plan and the recovery of our nation’s economy,” he said when officiating the Blood Donation Drive 2021 programme here today.
He said the Covid-19 pandemic had been plaguing the country and the world, and the problem had yet to be resolved with the emergence of new variants in the community.
