PETALING JAYA: Those aged 60 and above can receive a second Covid-19 vaccine booster dose voluntarily four to six months after their first booster, says Khairy Jamaluddin. The Health Minister added that those aged between 18 and 59 could also receive a second booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine if they met certain criteria. “The intake of this second booster dose vaccine is voluntary,” he added. Meanwhile, Khairy said the antiviral drug Paxlovid has been used since April 15 to treat Covid-19 patients. “To date, the priority of Paxlovid treatment has been the high-risk group of Covid-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms,” said Khairy.
