JOHOR BARU – A recent meeting with Tunku Mahkota of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has convinced some teachers who previously rejected the Covid-19 vaccine to get jabbed.
Johor Education, Information, Heritage and Culture Committee chairman Mazlan Bujang said out of 779 teachers, 216 agreed to get inoculated after hearing explanations from Tunku Ismail.
“The number of teachers rejecting the vaccine is decreasing. We still continue providing information to them. I would like to thank the Tunku Mahkota of Johor for meeting with the teachers,” Mazlan said after inspecting the vaccination process at SMK Taman Daya here today.
Mazlan said the majority of the remaining 563 teachers have opted not to be vaccinated due to health problems and pregnancies.
However, he said the teachers who rejected the vaccine make up less than 1% of the total 48,000 teachers in Johor. – Bernama, September 20, 2021
