CITF taking measures to prevent congestion at PPVs in Klang Valley


PETALING JAYA: The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) has stepped in to allay concerns over the presence of large numbers of vaccine recipients - with the majority being foreigners arriving in large groups - at the vaccination centres (PPVs) in Klang Valley.

"The congestion at PPVs reported in the media yesterday occurred and a significant number of vaccine recipients did not follow their appointed time slots. Many turned up in the morning, even though their appointments are in the afternoon," said CITF in a statement on Thursday (July 29) in response to media reports depicting crowded conditions at some PPVs on Wednesday (July 28).
