Seniors in Kedah facing difficulties getting to Covid-19 vaccination centres

92-year-old Shaari Sabu wants to get vaccinated but faces difficulty moving around and is worried he will not be able to get to the vaccination centre.

JITRA (Bernama): Some senior citizens here are facing mobility issues in getting their Covid-19 vaccine. It is clear they are not rejecting the vaccine as many have already registered for their shots, but some of them, particularly those who are bedridden due to chronic diseases or too weak to move because of old age, simply do not have the ability to go to the vaccination centres by themselves.

"I have already registered my name with the JPKK (Village Development and Security Committee), and now I am waiting my turn, but I am suffering leg pain, how am I going to get to the vaccination centre?” Shaari Sabu told Bernama when met at his house at Kampung Tanah Merah Dalam near here Friday (May 4).
