He said some inmates of the total 200 at the centre would be exempted from the vaccination, which began yesterday, as they still showed mild symptoms of the disease following the outbreak of the Tembok Labuan cluster that affected 194 people.
“They have been placed under surveillance,” he told Bernama. The vaccination exercise is an effort to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 infection among the inmates and detainees as well as staff, he said.
