Penang’s Covid-19 vaccination programme unaffected by political changes in Putrajaya, says chief minister
GEORGE TOWN, Aug 17 ― Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow gave an assurance today that the state’s Covid-19 vaccination will not be disrupted by political changes in Putrajaya.
He said the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force held a meeting this morning even though its minister resigned yesterday. Chow said the other Rivac in Design Village in Batu Kawan will start tomorrow where 4,000 doses will be dispensed over five days until August 22. “We will be getting 320,000 doses next week so our challenge next week will be to arrange the dispensing of the vaccines at PPVs here,” he said.
He said the state health department has already rescheduled all changes in vaccine appointments over the next few days so the delay will be over in two days.
