“We will begin giving out the third dose after we have received the implementation orders at the state level. Presently, we have adequate supplies of the vaccine.
“The third dose recipients will get their jabs at the vaccination centres (PPVs) of health clinics or hospitals as the integrated and public PPVs will be closed beginning October 15,” she told reporters after inspecting the Orang Asli vaccination programme at Sungai Berua here today.
