KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — Not all general practitioner (GP) clinics want to take part in the country’s vaccination drive, with only 2,467 of them having registered for the cause to date, according to National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NCIP) Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin

During a press conference today, Khairy said other than the limited number of registrants, the GPs also have to go through training and have the adequate equipment to store the vaccines in a cold chain system.

“This requires some preparation on part of the GPs, not all want to participate, they have to register through ProtectHealth (Corporation Sdn Bhd),” he said.
