KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 10): Nearly 80% of students aged between 12 and 17 have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine jab so far, said Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin. He posted on Facebook that the Ministry of Education (MOE) will always work closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in implementing the vaccination programme for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 or the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK)-Adolescent initiative that began in early September. "Alhamdulillah, today the MOH launched a new feature on vaccination details for schools under the MOE on the CovidNow website. "Through this new feature, parents or guardians can check the vaccination rate of students in their children's respective schools. Radzi said such effort will provide transparent information for the public, especially parents as well as guardians, and is part of measures under the country's transition to the endemic phase.
