He said Putrajaya had initially aimed to vaccinate up to 75,000 people daily, but the vaccination rate is closer to 25,000 people a day.

“So, if the prime minister makes general statements like that, it’s not based on data,” the PKR president said on Facebook during the launch of a Covid-19 data dashboard developed by NGO Yayasan Harapan.

On Sunday, Muhyiddin said the government was targeting herd immunity to be achieved by the end of the year. Last week, Khairy Jamaluddin, the coordinating minister for the vaccination programme, also expressed confidence that herd immunity could be achieved by year end.

At a press conference yesterday, Khairy said the vaccination rate had started to surpass 75,000 doses a day and noted that a record 95,000 doses were administered on Monday.

He said he expected the rate to reach 150,000 doses a day next month.

As of last Friday, a total of 1.42 million people have received at least one vaccine dose, up from 1.19 million at the start of the week.

Anwar called for more transparency on the amount of vaccines Malaysia was set to receive, adding that an increase in the number of vaccination centres would help speed up the number of people receiving the vaccines.

“We have to open up (more centres) if we want to reach one million (people vaccinated) a week,” he said.

“We cannot use the same sluggish methods and expect to obtain the desired results.”

On Monday, deputy science, technology and innovation minister Ahmad Amzad Hashim said that while 1,400 centres are expected to open across the country, less than 30% of them are operating because of the low supply of vaccines.
