PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A discussion on the vaccination mandate for teachers will be held with Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. He said the mandate on whether to make vaccination compulsory for teachers has its own legal implications. "I have to discuss with the Education Ministry (MOE). There are legal implications, so we have to discuss with the MOE minister later on the sectoral mandate and whether it can be made compulsory," he said in a special interview at his ministry here on Friday (Sept 3). He said there are 2,500 teachers who have not been vaccinated, and that 96.7% have received at least one shot, while 85.26% have completed both shots.
