Health expert urges maintaining COVID-19 protocols despite vaccines

Health expert Dr. Anna Ong Lim of Healthcare Professionals Alliance Against COVID-19 urges maintaining strict public health standards even after receiving the vaccine, as it is crucial for achieving herd immunity.

Lim notes that with a reproduction rate of 1.13 and a population of around 110 million, vaccinating 60 to 70 percent of the population would be necessary to achieve herd immunity.

She emphasizes the need to reduce case numbers in the country to expedite protection against the virus.
