VACCINATION IN MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, the Ministry of Health administers a mandatory vaccine programme for children under 15 in public schools. This programme is to help those who are less fortunate and are not able to pay the expenses of vaccination. And since not everyone can afford getting vaccines, this is a great way to help lift off the parents' burden in spending more than they should.

The Ministry of Health  also provides vaccination schedule in raising awareness of the importance of getting immunized.
