PASIR PUTEH – The Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority (Kada) has offered its buildings in six districts in Kelantan to be used as vaccination centres to attract more farmers to register for Covid-19 vaccination.
Kada chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor said the buildings are located in Pasir Mas, Kota Baru, Tumpat, Bachok, Pasir Puteh, and Rantau Panjang.
He said Kada had also informed the Kelantan Health Department of this in a letter sent three weeks ago.
Kamarudin said the opening of special centres for farmers should be expedited as the majority of them have yet to register for vaccination.
“Most farmers in the area have not registered for vaccination via the MySejahtera app due to various constraints, including the lack of devices,” he said here today.
Kamarudin said this was part of Kada’s efforts to help the government get more people, including farmers, to register for vaccination and stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said if the proposal was accepted by the department, Kada would also mobilise assets such as lorries and vans to help transport farmers to the designated centres.
“Kada is also actively sharing information on the benefits of vaccines to farmers through 13 Area Farmers’ Organisations in the Pasir Mas, Kota Bharu, Tumpat, Bachok, Pasir Puteh and Rantau Panjang districts,” he said. – Bernama, June 12, 2021
