KUALA LUMPUR:
In an effort to help ensure that the process of administering the Covid-19 vaccine continues to be extended to every citizen, health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah went to the ground today to serve as a vaccinator.

While making a working visit with higher education minister Noraini Ahmad to a mobile vaccination pilot project around Parit Sulong, Batu Pahat in Johor, Noor Hisham administered the vaccine to several people, including bedridden patients.

“A day with our mobile team providing vaccination service to those who are housebound and bedridden patients,” he said in a Facebook post, together with a few photographs of the visit.

Noor Hisham said the project, which commenced on June 14, was an initiative by a higher education institute to assist the government in increasing the coverage of vaccination.

“Through the project, the vaccination process is implemented via three delivery methods, namely, a satellite vaccination centre at the Batu Pahat Mara Junior Science College hall for healthy individuals and a centralised vaccine outreach service.

“Apart from that, house calls are also carried out for bedridden patients, the elderly or the disabled who do not have the physical ability or mental capacity to visit a PPV,” he said.
