Our local folks especially those in rural areas are giving their two thumbs up to the hybrid method of registering people in outstation areas for vaccination through MySejahtera apps and also manual ways.
This was mentioned by our Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Abang Openg who said such method is considered since many rural folks live far from vaccination centres. Thus, they will still be vaccinated if they turn up without first registering through MySejahtera or at the various Resident's Office.
Our Chief Minister had also requested all elected representatives to help register people in their respective constituencies so that Sarawak can achieve herd immunity by the end of August. Sarawak will receive 380,000 doses of Sinovac vaccine on 8 June and this will enable us to speed up its Covid-19 immunisation process in the effort to achieve herd immunity as targeted.
The present batch of vaccine doses is also part of the amount announced by National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NCIP) which was recently announced by YB Khairy Jamaluddin who is also the coordinating minister for the programme.
Sarawak would receive 380,000 doses of vaccine every week beginning the first week of June until the end of August, putting us on track to be the first in Malaysia to complete its immunisation programme by vaccinating 2.2 million of its population.
According to our Chief Minister, Miri will receive 89,360 doses on June 10 and about 30,000 of our local folks had registered for the AstraZeneca vaccine where by Sarawak’s target is to hit one million vaccine jabs by the end of this month.
As of 7 June, a total of 1,000 of our folks got their jabs at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) vaccination centre and another was opened at the National Youth Skills Training Centre (IKBN) in Miri, which will operate from 8 June until the end of July.
