KUALA LUMPUR – PLUS Malaysia Bhd (PLUS), the first highway headquarters to be activated as an integrated public vaccination centre, recorded over 16,000 vaccine recipients, both Malaysians and foreigners, in less than two weeks since it began operating on July 26.

In a statement, the company said the centre was made possible with its partnership with medical advisory partner Primer Cherang, together with ProtechHealth, the private medical implementer in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK).

Its managing director Datuk Azman Ismail said that its offering of PLUS’ headquarters as a centre aims to boost vaccination efforts and help retail sectors resume so small businesses can be revived.

“Insya-Allah, our country can work towards economic and social recovery,” he said.

Earlier, PLUS said that the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) had selected the Persada PLUS headquarters as one of 14 public immunisation venues to accelerate the dispensing of vaccines through Operation Surge Capacity, to ensure all adults will receive at least one dose of vaccine by August 1. – Bernama, August 8, 2021
