KUALA LUMPUR: Over 90 per cent of the adult population in the Klang Valley have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine as of July 30.
According to data shared by the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF), 90.3 per cent of the adult population had received the first dose, while 34.3 per cent of them have been inoculated with both doses.
CITF said a total 256,466 Covid-19 vaccines were administered in the Klang Valley under "Operation Surge Capacity" yesterday.
"Of this, 153,778 were first and 102,688 second doses," the Special Committee on Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) shared on Twitter, citing CITF data.
The government had launched "Operation Surge Capacity" for Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to accelerate the vaccination drive amid the spike in Covid-19 cases in the Klang Valley.
Covid-19 National Immunisation Programme (NIP) coordinating minister Khairy Jamaluddin had previously said under this operation, the government would ensure that every adult resident of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur aged 18 and above would have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by Aug 1.
