Kuala Lumpur, June 4 — The government is studying the possibility of taking action against anti-vaxxers in the country if the group is found to be inciting the public not to support the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK), Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said today.
He said the government had also asked the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV) to look into the implementation of a mandatory vaccination programme if the number of registrations is not enough to reach the target of herd immunity.
“If we go according to plan, I hope we can speed up the vaccination rate,” he said after a visit to the Mitec vaccination centre in Kuala Lumpur with Khairy Jamaluddin, the minister in charge of PICK, and Health Minister Dr Adham Baba.
“The important thing is, there shouldn’t be people saying don’t get vaccinated.
“We don’t want some of our people to have received the jab while others do not because this will have consequences,” he added.
