SEREMBAN: More Orang Asli will take the Covid-19 vaccine if their Tok Batin or village heads are prepared to do so, says state health committee chairman S. Veerapan.

He said with only 10.5% or 857 of the 8, 167 Orang Asli in Negri Sembilan having agreed to be inoculated, the Tok Batin could be good role models and inspire their people to take the vaccine.
