PUNCAK ALAM – The drive-through vaccination service at the mega vaccination centre (PPV) at the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Puncak Alam campus will start operating in two weeks’ time, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Noraini Ahmad.
She said UiTM is one of the three public universities that can provide such a service, especially for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. The other two universities are Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
She said the drive-through service is a hybrid vaccination initiative that will be implemented at selected PPVs, besides the normal practice of being vaccinated in rooms or halls provided.
Meanwhile, Noraini said the mega PPV at UiTM Puncak Alam, which began operating today, will be open from 8am to 5pm daily and has a hall that can accommodate up to 1,500 people at a time.
“This service is expected to be able to provide 5,000 vaccinations a day, with the involvement of 200 staff,” she said at a press conference after visiting the centre here today.
In another development, Noraini said that apart from the proposal to open 19 PPVs at institutions of higher learning to assist in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, the ministry also plans to open PPVs at selected polytechnics and community colleges. – Bernama, June 7, 2021
