PETALING JAYA: Elderly care homes that are not registered with the Social Welfare Department are urged to pre-register their residents and staff with the Health Ministry as this will enable them to obtain the vaccine in the second phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
According to the ministry’s Family Health Development Division’s elderly health sector senior principal assistant director, Dr Noraliza Noordin Merican, unregistered elderly care homes may miss out on the chance to ensure their clients are protected if they stay below the radar.
