GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): Volunteers serving at Penang's mega vaccination centre (PPV), at Setia SPICE Convention Centre could be seen fighting back tears on their last day on duty there, as it will be officially closed Thursday (Oct 7).

The PPV, which has been operating for the last 66 days and has the capacity to administer 5,000 Covid-19 vaccine doses a day, will be closed for good, following the announcement by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin on Monday (Oct 4) that there was no need for mega PPVs to continue administering the Covid-19 vaccine, as the majority of the people are now fully vaccinated.
