Russia is struggling with widespread opposition to vaccination even though it has developed several homegrown jabs including Sputnik V.

People have rights, but so does society, legal experts say.

Authoritative sources only go so far, and only with a certain population, experts say amid a 'conspiracy narrative' surrounding the pandemic.

Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says such people should not think that the flexibility given to those who are vaccinated will also apply to them.

Those who are eligible for vaccination against Covid-19 but refuse to get jabbed will only be making life more difficult for themselves.

Deputy Health Minister Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali says the vaccination programme was carried out after taking into consideration local and international studies.

He says the government has presented scientific evidence on the vaccines from the very beginning.

He cites restrictions on those who choose not to get vaccinated, as well as the implementation of regular tests for which they will have to pay.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin voices hope for quick follow-up action, including investigation and prosecution against the groups for spreading false information.

But they say there is a difference between anti-vaxxers and those who are merely sceptical about the vaccines.

He also says the health ministry is considering making vaccination mandatory to address the issue of anti-vaxxers.
