INTERVIEW | First opened in the Klang Valley, mega-sized vaccine administration centres have since been set up in other parts of the country.
This comes at a time when states with low vaccination rates are experiencing Covid-19 surges, underscoring the need to speed up vaccinations. Yesterday, Sabah had the second-highest number of daily infections behind the Klang Valley with 2,594 cases. It also has the slowest vaccination rates in the country, just 40 percent of adults were inoculated as of Aug 31.
While mega PPVs can administer 2,000 or more jabs per day, they also lead to crowds and possible infection spread. At least two such facilities have already seen Covid-19 outbreaks.
