KUALA LUMPUR: The mobile vaccination units have started making their rounds in several areas in Penang and Selangor to inoculate senior citizens against Covid-19.
The Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV) Special Committee on Twitter said the Penang’s Timur Laut Health District has so far visited 54 elderly nursing homes and vaccinated 1,330 senior citizens and 663 caretakers.
“There are 80 centres (in the district) with the residents expected to receive the complete dose on June 30,” it said.
In a separate Tweet, it said a vaccination mobile unit also visited a nursing home in Kuala Langat, where the elderly people and caretakers were inoculated against Covid-19.
“They are (from the) high-risk group and must be protected.”
Mobile Covid-19 vaccination trucks are being used to vaccinate residents with limited mobility as part of the outreach programme for vaccination.-NST
