KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 68.8% of the adult population in the country, or 16,107,712 people, have completed their Covid-19 vaccination as of yesterday, according to the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV).

       An infographic shared on the committee’s official Twitter account yesterday showed that a total of 313,751 doses of the vaccines were dispensed under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) on Monday, with 132,640 to first-dose recipients and 181,111 as a second dose.

       This brings the total of the country’s adult population who have received at least one dose of the vaccine to 20,677,827 individuals or 88.3%, as of Monday, JKJAV said.

       PICK was launched last Feb 24 to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country. — Bernama
