Dr Adham: States with Covid-19 vaccination rate under 55% to get more outreach programmes


PUTRAJAYA: Special attention is to be given to Sabah, Kelantan, Kedah, Johor, Perak, Terengganu and Pahang, as these states have recorded vaccination rates of less than 55%, with more outreach programmes to be held so that those in rural and remote areas can be inoculated.

This is among decisions made at the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF), where through the whole of government approach, agencies such as the Armed Forces and the usage of assets will be roped in to reach out to as many people as possible and to get them vaccinated.
