PUTRAJAYA (April 1): The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) has taken the initiative to set up counters at its programme locations to assist senior citizens to register for Covid-19 vaccination.
“We can help them to register and thereby increasing the number of registrations for the national immunisation programme,” Minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun told reporters after officiating the ministry’s NGO Convention here today.
Elaborating, Rina said besides requiring assistance, the wait-and-see attitude and apprehension were among the contributing factors to the low number of registrations by the senior citizen group for the Covid-19 vaccination.
“We have to create awareness among them that the immunisation programme is for the well-being of the people,” she said.
Meanwhile, Rina said the name list of senior citizens at the Social Welfare Department who had agreed to receive the vaccination will be submitted to the Ministry of Health (MoH).
