More children in Sabah getting vaccinated

Easy does it: Shahelmy watches a boy receiving his vaccine shot.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s vaccination rate for children under the age of 12 got off to a slow start on Feb 3 but has since picked up, says Sabah Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Shahelmy Yahya.

He said on the first day, only 20 children under the age of 12 took their Covid-19 vaccination shots at the Women and Children’s Hospital in Likas near here.
