JELI – The Jeli Parliamentary Community Service Centre will conduct three more vaccination outreach programmes to encourage more people in the district to take up the Covid-19 vaccine.
Jeli MP Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said that the programme, to be held in Kuala Balah, Batu Melintang, and Air Lanas, would help residents register for vaccination, with staff from the Jeli District Health Office to administer the vaccine at said locations.
“So far, the community service centre, in collaboration with the district health office, has conducted four vaccination outreach programmes, namely at the Jeli Cure and Care Rehabilitation Centre, Politeknik Jeli, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) Jeli. Today, we organised a programme with the Orang Asli community in Kg Sg Rual.
“Another vaccination centre will be opened in UMK Jeli in addition to the existing vaccination centre at the Jeli District Council Hall,” he told reporters after the outreach programme at Kg Sg Rual today.
Mustapa, who is also the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department for economy, said his office aimed to register and inoculate 200 Orang Asli residents in the village today.
“This village has about 1,000 residents from 207 families. As of noon, a total of 100 people have registered and we hope the number will reach 200 in the evening.
“The outreach programme in this village aims to provide assistance to residents having trouble getting their vaccine jabs in the town,” he said. – Bernama, June 5, 2021
