Get jabbed, religious school students told

GEORGE TOWN: Only 27.13% or 1,534 students studying in religious, tahfiz and Islamic schools in Penang have received their Covid-19 vaccination while 4,120 have yet to get vaccinated.

State health, agriculture, agro-based industry and rural development committee chairman Dr Norlela Ariffin said since the vaccination rates were low, she urged parents or guardians of the students to walk into any 10 vaccination centres in Penang before they start the face-to-face school session.
