Covid-19: Sabah crosses 50% fully vaccinated mark but rumours trigger slowdown


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah crossed the 50% fully vaccinated mark on Saturday (Sept 11), as health workers again struggled to reach out to rural folk and illegal immigrant workers who are in hiding amid unfounded rumours of arrests.

"It has been slowing down over the last few days. In urban areas, we seem to have reached maximum level; this is positive as many have either completed the two doses or are waiting for the second dose," Sabah's immunisation programme operations director Shahelmey Yahya said.
