Near impossible to set up village vaccination centres, says Brunei minister; another 82 new Covid-19 cases are confirmed


BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Aug 29 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Minister of Health Dato Seri Setia Dr Mohd Isham Jaafar said the Ministry of Health (MoH) has no plans to set up vaccination centres in village areas, noting that it would be a near “impossible” feat to do so in every village.

This was the minister’s response to a suggestion put forward in hopes of reducing the possibility of breaking standard operating procedures (SOP) at highly concentrated vaccination centres.
