KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The involvement of private general practitioners (GPs) in administering Covid-19 vaccines is based on current needs to ensure continuity of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK).

The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force said the operation to boost vaccination capacity that sought to control the Covid-19 outbreak in relevant areas was carried out from July 26 to Aug 1, which had led to its decision to reduce the number of vaccination centres in Klang Valley, including the participation of GPs.

"CITF greatly appreciates the services provided by GPs under the programme which certainly contributes to the country’s achievement of recording one of the fastest vaccination rates daily per capita in the world. It said GPs administered about 5% of the total vaccine jabs during the implementation of the capacity boost operation, adding that as of yesterday, 107.7% of the adult population in the Klang Valley had received their first dose, including undocumented residents and non-residents.
