Teenagers between the age of 12 to 17 will be eligible for Covid-19 vaccinations, according to Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said that the priority will be for those with underlying medical conditions before focusing on those without health issues based on age de-escalation.
