Chow: Political crisis will not affect implementation of public health programme in Penang
NIBONG TEBAL, Aug 15 — The Penang government will not allow the current political crisis in the country to affect the public health programme that is being actively implemented in the state.
“We will focus on the matter while ensuring that the vaccination programme achieves its goals,” he told a press conference after visiting the drive-through Covid-19 screening centre at Stadium Negeri Pulau Pinang near Batu Kawan, here, today. In another development, he said four public vaccination centres in the state would be closed today due to a shortage of about 20,000 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine doses.
Therefore, Chow said vaccination appointments at the PPVs would be rescheduled and those affected would be notified of the new appointment dates via the MySejahtera application.
