Description

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin recently announced that over 850,000 senior citizens aged 60 and above have yet to receive their Covid-19 booster doses. As the country transitions into an endemic phase and eases restrictions, older adults remain a high-risk group for developing severe Covid. How can we better understand what is behind the slow uptake for boosters among senior citizens? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak Cheah Tuck Wing, Chairperson, Malaysian Coalition on Ageing.
