NEARLY three quarters of the homeless community in Sarawak have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine as part of the state’s ongoing efforts to achieve herd immunity.

State Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Minister Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah said 87 out of 121 homeless individuals (or 72%) had been given their first dose as of Aug 20, while four had completed both doses.
