KUALA LUMPUR – Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) is serving as a Covid-19 vaccination facility, joining other selected private hospitals participating in the national immunisation programme.

In a statement, SJMC chief executive Trish Hogan said the hospital has a dedicated team of vaccinators to administer the jab to healthcare workers in Selangor starting today.

“SJMC is committed to our role in helping the government achieve 80% herd immunity in Malaysia, which will have a far-reaching and positive impact on all of us.”

Khairy Jamaluddin, the coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, has said private hospitals will be used as vaccination centres for private healthcare workers in Phase 1 of the inoculation drive.

“The government will include more private hospitals for Phases 2 and 3, as announced previously.”
