PETALING JAYA: The Selangor Covid-19 Vaccination Programme (SCVP), which gives companies paid priority access to vaccines, is a much-needed option for the business community, especially for those who need prompt vaccination for their staff, say business groups.

Businesses that could afford to foot the bill – possibly costing RM350 for two doses of the Sinovac vaccine per person – now have an inroad into securing faster vaccination for their workers under the SCVP, which is now open for registration.
