According to the handbook, the government aims for at least 80 per cent of Malaysia's adult population to be vaccinated by February 2022 to reduce the spread of this virus. Out of the 21 million Malaysians who have registered to be vaccinated, 20.5 million have so far received their first dose as of this week according to statistics from https://covid-19.moh.gov.my/vaksin-covid-19
Currently, approximately 49 per cent of the population has been fully vaccinated with two doses (approximately 68 per cent of the adult population in Malaysia).
