Despite interventions, official says 563 teachers in Johor still refusing Covid-19 vaccines
JOHOR BARU, Sept 20 — A total of 563 teachers in Johor are still refusing to be vaccinated against Covid-19, with most citing health reasons, said a state official.
“The female teachers said they will take the vaccine injection after giving birth and they are not considered anti-vaxxers or those who are opposed to vaccination. Following that, Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim held a meeting with the teachers to find a solution at the Sultan Ibrahim Building in Bukit Timbalan here on August 27.
“The total number of teachers who refused to be vaccinated is very small and it’s only about one per cent of the 48,000 teachers in the state,” said the Puteri Wangsa assemblyman.
