Plantation and sawmill workers in remote areas receive vaccinations


The blue bus used for the outreach vaccination programme.

IT IS a mountainous task to run industrial vaccination centres for plantations in remote areas but a public-private sector partnership vaccination programme in Sibu, Sarawak, has turned out to be a success.

What was likely to take a few weeks took the team led by Pansar Holdings Bhd just five days each time to administer 6,096 doses (first and second) to workers of 18 oil palm plantations and two sawmills in Sibu, Selangau and Mukah.
