The Health Minister said the Special Committee on Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) has agreed to get them involved in the second and third phases of the National Covid-19 Immunisation programme. It will be coordinated by Protect Health Sdn Bhd, a non-profit organisation under the ministry.
