Covid-19: 77,770th vaccine recipient the last at UniSZA PPV

KUALA NERUS (Bernama): The 77,770th vaccine recipient was both taken aback and excited to be the last individual to receive the Covid-19 vaccine jab on the hall stage at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) vaccination centre (PPV) here, witnessed by the PPV staff.

Romaizi Mustafa, 55, said he was shocked when he was informed that he was the last individual to be vaccinated there on the 77th day, which was also the last day of the UniSZA PPV's operations.

"Excited because many people watched my second-dose vaccine jab on stage, with UniSZA vice-chancellor (Performing Functions) Prof Dr Fadzli Adam also present while many people recorded videos and took photographs.

"Thank you very much to all the staff at the UniSZA PPV as this moment will be one of my fondest memories," said Romaizi, who is an officer at the Department of Special Affairs in the Prime Minister's Department for the Kuala Nerus district on Wednesday (Oct 6).

The father of three received the first vaccine dose on Sept 13.

Meanwhile, Fadzli said more than 400 UniSZA staff members and 20 Malaysia Vaccine Support Volunteers (MyVAC) from the Ministry of Youth and Sports were involved as frontliners in the immunisation programme at UniSZA PPV.

"After the PPV opened last June, they worked tirelessly almost daily, including on public holidays, to make the national immunisation programme a success," he added. - Bernama
