You do not need to pay for any charges if your Covid-19 vaccination centre is at a private hospital or clinic!

The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister says immunisation at any private healthcare facility is fully borne by the government.

Khairy Jamaluddin adds which healthcare facility that an individual will be sent to be vaccinated will depend on their house address.

The administration of the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine will kickstart tomorrow.

The Health Ministry says it marked 21 days since Phase 1 of the vaccination programme began on February 24.

The country's largest vaccination exercise started last month with Prime Minitser Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin being the first Malaysian to receive the jab.

Malaysia registered its lowest number of daily Covid-19 cases for this year, with 1,208 yesterday.

Selangor remained the state with the most new infection at 379, followed by Sarawak and Penang.
