KJ: Full vaccination for Sarawak before state polls


KUCHING: The Covid-19 immunisation programme in Sarawak will be accelerated to ensure that the state is fully vaccinated by August, before the next state election is called.

Coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Khairy Jamaluddin said this was necessary as Sarawak was required by law to hold its state polls within 60 days should the Emergency end on Aug 1.
