Consider This: Covid-19 (Part 2) — What Malay Parents Fear Most?

Recently the Health Minister acknowledged that the number of children born to Malay families had low Covid-19 vaccination rates compared with those from other ethnic groups. It was also revealed that as of February 10th, less than 50% of Malays in the country have received their Covid-19 booster, and that the take-up rate continues to be low. How can we better understand what this is grounded in? And how might this help the Government and other stakeholders address the reluctance among the majority community?
