PUTRAJAYA: More than 70,000 teachers have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, said Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin.
He said the Ministry of Education (MOE) would strive to increase the number as the school session would continue with Home-based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) until the end of July.
Radzi, in a virtual press conference today, said discussions on the matter had been held with National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy was previously reported to have said that a total of 500,000 teachers have been listed as vaccine recipients under Phase 2 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme which began on April 19.
