LARUT – Six vaccination centres (PPV) will be opened in Perak in early July to speed up the inoculation process in the state.

State Health, Science, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Mohd Akmal Kamarudin said the centers are at the Selama District Council Multipurpose Hall, Gopeng District Council Hall, Inderawati Beruas Hall, Sungai Siput Hall, Felcra Seberang Perak Hall and Merdeka Lenggong Hall.

He said the six PPVs could administer up to 2,600 shots a day.

“As of June 16, a total of 233,298 people in the state have received their first dose while a total of 138,403 people have been given the second dose,” he told a press conference after visiting the Sg Bayor Health Clinic in Selama today.

Akmal urged residents who did not have smartphones to go to any health clinic, district office or village head office to enable them to be registered in the MySejahtera application.

Meanwhile, he said the outreach programme at the Sg Bayor Health Clinic had received an encouraging response from the public, with the registration of 600 people in the past four days. – Bernama, June 19, 2021
