PUTRAJAYA – The government has established its Guidelines to Determine List of Frontliners to avoid queue-jumping in the National Covid-19 Vaccination Programme, said its coordinating minister, Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy, who is also science, technology and innovation minister, said the decision was made at the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee meeting, with the guidelines providing details on frontliners.
Khairy said he and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba have signed off on the guidelines, which can be found at the government’s official vaccine plan website, as well as the websites of both ministries, he added.
“So, the question of cutting queue will not arise as personnel of vaccination dispensing centres have been told to follow the guidelines. The guidelines will clearly state who is eligible and who is not yet eligible for the vaccination under Phase 1,” he said here today.
Khairy said the government is also considering issuing compounds for those found cutting queue to obtain the Covid-19 vaccine jab. – Bernama, March 1, 2021
