KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (July 5): Under the SelVAX Industry program, the Selangor government hopes to vaccinate one million industrial workers. The program, which is part of the Selangor Vaccination Programme (SelVAX), is offered to enterprises or industries willing to pay for their employees’ vaccinations.
SelVAX stated in a statement today that the two pills per person will cost RM350.
Companies registered or operating in Selangor and the Klang Valley, as well as those in essential sectors recognized by the National Security Council and those with a high number of employees, will be given precedence, according to the statement.
