PUTRAJAYA – Community pharmacists are now included in the list of frontliners who will be vaccinated under the first phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV) meeting held yesterday agreed to include community pharmacists in Category Two of the guidelines to determine frontliners under the programme.
He said the decision was made following a request by the Malaysian Pharmacists Society and Malaysian Community Pharmacy Guild.
“It will benefit some 4,000 community pharmacists in Malaysia, who will be vaccinated under the first phase,” Dr Adham said in a statement today.
Category Two frontliners are those involved in the health sectors, defence agency, as well as security forces and essential services personnel. – Bernama, March 12, 2021
