KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 29): A total of 14.5 million people representing 61.9% of Malaysia's adult population had completed their two-dose Covid-19 vaccination programme as of Saturday, Aug 28.

Meanwhile, 19.24 million representing 82.2% of its adult population had had at least one dose of the vaccine, according to figures provided by the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) today.

In terms of total population, 58.9% in Malaysia had had at least one dose, while 44.4% were fully inoculated.

In the Klang Valley — comprising Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya — 89.5% of the adult population had been fully vaccinated, while 110.7% had had at least one dose (the figure exceeds 100% as official population statistics have yet to account for changes in population since the last census, and undocumented residents; vaccines were also given out to non-residents).

This means 65.5% of the region's overall population had been fully vaccinated, while 81% had had at least one dose.
