PUTRAJAYA – The Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV) is in the process of fine tuning the Covid-19 National Vaccination Plan, which will be available for all Malaysians.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the matter was discussed at the JKJAV meeting which he jointly chaired with Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, yesterday.
