VACCINATION for students aged 16 and 17 is expected to be completed before school reopens on Monday, said Penang Education Department director Abdul Rashid Abdul Samad.

He said at the daily rate of 500 students vaccinated at each vaccination centre (PPV), a total of 10 PPVs in the state would mean that 5,000 students were getting their jabs daily.
