Dr Noor Hisham reminds vaccinated senior citizens to follow SOP


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Senior citizens who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 are reminded to continue observing the standard operating procedure (SOP), as they can still be infected with the virus, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pic).

He said they should continue to wear face mask when going out and practise physical distancing because the vaccine would be effective only two weeks after the second dose was administered.
