SHAH ALAM – The Selangor government is making preparations to provide booster doses of the Covid-19 vaccine under its Selangor Vaccine Programme (Selvax), the state assembly was told today.

State Public Health, Unity, Women and Family Development Committee chairman Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud said the preparations included providing the vaccine to those aged 18 and below, subject to approval by the JKJAV.

She said this in response to a question from Wong Siew Ki (PH-Balakong) who wanted to know about the Selvax Komuniti and Selvax Industri programmes.

Dr Siti Mariah said that, as of last Sunday, the number of vaccine dispensed under Selvax Komuniti was 224,880 doses, with 275,120 doses remaining.

For Selvax Industri, 142,719 doses of the vaccine have been administered until Sunday, out of 750,000 doses allocated, she added.

Meanwhile, she apologised to the opposition members in the House for not informing them about the cancellation of the operation of the Selvax vaccination centre. – Bernama, August 25, 2021
