KUALA LUMPUR – Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) is now a Covid-19 vaccination centre for the Petaling Jaya district, joining other selected private hospitals as the country ramps up its national immunisation programme.
In a statement today, SJMC chief executive officer Trish Hogan said it has a dedicated team of well-trained vaccinators to administer the vaccine to healthcare workers in Selangor starting tomorrow.
Trish said it is imperative that the public-private partnership is fully utilised to ensure the country’s vaccination programme runs smoothly.
“SJMC is committed to our role in supporting the government to achieve 80% herd immunity in Malaysia, which will have far-reaching and a positive impact for all of us,” she said.
National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin had earlier said that private hospitals are being used as vaccination centres for private healthcare workers in Phase 1 of the immunisation programme.
“The government will include more private hospitals for Phases 2 and 3, as announced previously,” he had said. – Bernama, March 10, 2021
