KUALA LUMPUR: House-to-house vaccination for bedridden patients living in the Klang Valley will be carried out by the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) with other non-governmental organisations under the mobile clinic initiative of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

Its adviser Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood said MRCS had mobilised its team to 111 of the 280 houses identified so far to protect vulnerable individuals who have difficulty making the trip to the vaccination centres to get their jabs.
