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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we go according to plan, I hope we can speed up the vaccination rate,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe important thing is, there shouldn\u2019t be people saying don\u2019t get vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want some of our people to have received the jab while others do not because this will have consequences,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
