No legal action against un-boosted Sinovac recipients

Sinovac vaccine recipients who refuse to take the COVID-19 booster shot will not face any legal action.

The Health Minister says its because it is no mandatory to take the jab under the law.

However, such recipients who are not boosted will lose their fully vaccinated status on April 1^st.

As such, they will be barred from enjoying privileges given only to fully immunised individuals.
