Ong said that this will serve as a strong signal to the unvaccinated people to get vaccinated.
He added that the government is also continuing to strive to expand the portfolio of the vaccines so that there is a suitable one for everybody.
He further added that the number of unvaccinated elderly people have dropped from 200,000 to less than 70,000 at the moment.
