KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) will only be operating until October 31, said Science, Technology and Innovation (Mosti) Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

Adham, who is also joint CITF chairman, said from November 1, the National Covid-19 immunisation Programme (PICK) would be fully implemented by the Ministry of Health (MOH) as the current development of PICK has attained a commendable level.

“Following the current development of PICK at a good level, the mandate to immunise the populace subsequently, as was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, would be returned by CITF to the MOH.

“..I am confident MOH is indeed experienced and ready, especially MOH is now actively vaccinating teenagers, now,” he said when attending the closing ceremony of the Bukit Jalil National Stadium Vaccination Centre (PPV) here, today.

He said the non-MOH PPVs which were managed by CITF currently had started to be closed down in stages nationwide and no more non-MOH PPV are expected to be operational after October 31. — Bernama
