KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Laden with an ice box, needles, personal protective equipment and other items, the team of volunteers and medical officers stepped out of their van on a narrow kampung road in Beranang, Selangor, one hot Tuesday morning recently. At least the rain has stopped, mused a volunteer as the six-person group made their way uphill on a dirt road.
It was uncomfortably humid and the equipment they carried was heavy but that trip on July 6 was necessary to protect bedridden and disabled people – those who are unable to go to Covid-19 vaccination centres (PPV).
It was the first day of the door-to-door Covid-19 vaccination programme by medical non-governmental organisations (NGOs) such as Mercy Malaysia, Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia Response & Relief Team and the National Cancer Society, aided by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) and the Health Ministry.

The Foreign Minister said Wisma Putra welcomed the arrival of the contribution from the United States, which is scheduled to arrive on Monday (July 5). On behalf of the Government of Malaysia, I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to my counterpart, Antony Blinken (US Secretary of State) and the US Government for the generous contribution of its Covid-19 vaccines, Hishammuddin said in a statement Sunday (July 4).
The doses are from an initial batch of 80 million US-made vaccines the Biden administration pledged last month to share globally amidst concern about the disparity in vaccination rates between advanced and developing nations.
