Individuals who jump the queue to receive Covid-19 vaccine jabs can be fined up to RM50,000 or be jailed for six months, or both, Health Minister Dr Adham Baba said.

He said such action could be taken under Section 31, which is a new provision under the Emergency (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021, which will come into effect on March 11.
