PUTRAJAYA (April 27): An additional RM2 billion to RM5 billion allocation for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme is needed after various factors were considered, including increased costs to procure the Covid-19 vaccine and the costs to administer the programme, said programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. He said the RM5 billion allocation covered RM3.5 billion for vaccine procurement and logistics, RM333 million (rental and utilities), RM260 million (disposable equipment, and vaccination implementation) and RM100 for sanitisation and cleaning.
