COVID-19 immunisation for the manufacturing sector kicked off smoothly in Penang with employees of Micron Memory Malaysia Sdn Bhd arriving by factory buses at the vaccination centre at Bukit Jawi Golf Resort on the mainland.

A total 480 workers, including some 30 of them who are hearing impaired, received their first dose of the Sinovac vaccine at the centre on the first day of the Program Imunisasi Industri Covid-19 Kerjasama Awam-Swasta (Pikas).
