PETALING JAYA: Details for the second round of AstraZeneca (AZ) Covid-19 vaccine opt-in will be announced next week, says Khairy Jamaluddin. "While much attention has been given to the opt-in AZ track under the National Covid-19 Immunisation programme (Pick), phase two is well underway with more seniors receiving their appointments. The AZ vaccine rollout began in Malaysia on a voluntary basis on Wednesday (May 5). Meanwhile on a separate matter, those who received the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine and given dates earlier than the recommended 12 weeks for their second jab will have their appointments rescheduled, said Khairy. Khairy had said that the interval between the first and second doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine is set at 12 weeks.
