KUCHING, June 9 — It is unfair to blame the government for the Covid-19 vaccine wastage as at the time of procuring the vaccines, every country was rushing to secure enough for their population, said Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai.

“By around this time, most economic sectors were opening up and the number of Covid-19 infections was on the decline. We can’t blame the government for a low uptake in booster shots. There was ample supply but many chose not to get the boosters even though it was recommended by the health ministry and medical experts,” he said in a statement.

Considering the high demand for vaccines at the start of 2021, he opined that the government did well in securing more than enough vaccines for the population.
