Walk-in jabs yet to pick up pace


Malaysians queueing at the lane for walk-in vaccination without prior appointment at the PPV in Setia SPICE Convention Centre, Penang, on the first day of the programme on Wednesday.

THE vaccination rate at walk-in vaccination centres (PPV) in Penang is low due to a weekday slump.

Each of the 10 walk-in PPVs has 500 doses prepared every day, but only around 50% of that were administered on the first day, which was Wednesday, said state health committee chairman Dr Norlela Ariffin.
