Students must be vaccinated before school reopens , says Rina
SERI ISKANDAR, Aug 14 — Students, especially those between the ages of 12 and 17 must be vaccinated before the reopening of schools, scheduled on September 1, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun.
“We must remember that children in this age group are school-going individuals. I truly hope they will be given the vaccine with the cooperation of the Education Ministry before or when schools reopen,” she said after visiting the Rumah Seri Kenangan Seri Iskandar, about 45 kilometres from Ipoh today.
“I understand that almost 60 per cent of the 150,000 pregnant women have registered for the vaccination,” she said.
