Selangor has the biggest population, highest GDP, second highest vaccine registration coverage, and second highest Covid-19 incidence rate, but the second-lowest vaccination coverage of its targeted population.

Selangor, Sabah, and Johor have the 3 biggest populations targeted for Covid-19 vaccination (aged ≥ 18 yrs).

But these 3 states have the lowest vaccination coverage.

Perlis and Labuan have the smallest populations eligible for vaccination, but is in the top quartile of vax.

Selangor has the second highest demand for Covid-19 vaccination, behind KL.

But Selangor comes in dead last with regards to the percentage of those registered for vaccination either receiving at least one dose or having received both doses.

Selangor has the second highest Covid-19 incidence rate after Labuan, but Selangor is placed in the bottom quartile of Covid-19 vaccination coverage.

Perlis has the lowest Covid-19 incidence rate, but is in the top quartile of vaccination coverage.

Selangor has the biggest GDP in the country, but is among the bottom of Covid-19 vaccination coverage.

So, if it’s not based on demand (population size or registration rate) or need (number of cases or economic importance), how are Covid-19 vaccines allocated in Malaysia?

I should add a caveat -- my tweets in this thread are from the contributor's analysis to CodeBlue. Putrajaya omitted coz no GDP figure available.

I'm unsure of @Khairykj's Covid vax strategy, amid limited supply, but @JKJAVMY should reveal state breakdown of vaccine allocations.

And CITF should provide the rationale for its proportion of vaccine allocations to states.

Give a weekly state breakdown of allocations.

Otherwise, it looks like Selangor is dianak-tirikan, especially when it has the second-highest Covid incidence rate in Malaysia.
