KOTA BARU – The Covid-19 National Children’s Immunisation Programme (PICKids) in Kelantan is expected to begin on February 13.
Kelantan Health Director Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin said the state Health Department is still waiting for the programme’s registration process to be completed.
He said the permission forms to be filled by parents have been distributed by schools to facilitate registration, apart from registration through MySejahtera.
“PICKids in the state will begin as soon as the voluntary registration process can run smoothly. It involves children aged between five to 11 years old.
“Children with high-risk conditions and comorbidities will undergo health evaluations at nearby hospitals before being vaccinated,” he said when contacted today,
The population of children aged between five and 11 in Kelantan was at 219,000 last year, said Dr Zaini. – Bernama, February 6, 2022
