KINABATANGAN: With the nearest vaccination centre in Hospital Kinabatangan more than 20km away as well as restrictions due to the lockdown, workers of the Kertam oil palm estate here are over the moon with the arrival of the Covid-19 mobile vaccination team.

Faced with obstacles such as the lack of transportation and roads as well as rising Covid-19 cases, the workers welcomed the team like they were “superheroes”.
