KOTA SAMARAHAN, July 26 — Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg today said the Sarawak Infectious Disease Centre (SIDC) will undertake a longitudinal serology study on vaccinated individuals in Sarawak as its immediate project.
He said the study will monitor the specific neutralising antibodies against Covid-19 over a two-year period.
“Such information is not only important for us to determine the efficacy of the current vaccination programme but also will allow us to make an informed decision on the need for booster doses, and the type of vaccines to be given,” he said during the soft launch of the SIDC and Sarawak Research and Development Centre (SRDC) here.
