As of midnight last night, 89.1% of the nation’s adult population were fully vaccinated while 94.6% have received at least their first dose. A total of 45,204,479 jabs have been administered.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob previously said state borders would be reopened and all tourism activities allowed to resume once 90% of adults have been fully immunised against Covid-19.

While the Klang Valley, Labuan and Negeri Sembilan have among the highest fully vaccinated rates, less than 50% of the total population in Kelantan and Sabah have completed their jabs.
