PUTRAJAYA – OKU Sentral president Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi today urged all people with disabilities (PwD) who have yet to register with the Social Welfare Department to do so to ensure that they are included in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
She said according to statistics, PwD registered with JKM only numbered around 590,000 out of the estimated 4.7 million in the country.
“Register with JKM quickly to get the PwD card which will ease the vaccination registration process,” she said after receiving 152,000 Yuka Zan face masks worth RM106,400 donated by Shills Beauty Sdn to OKU Sentral here today.
Ras Adiba, who is also the chairman of Bernama, said she hoped the family members or caretakers of PwD would help them register for vaccination on the MySejahtera app.
The second phase of the immunisation programme, which gives priority to PwD, senior citizens, and those with chronic illnesses will begin on April 19 in eight states. – Bernama, April 7, 2021
