KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 27 new vaccination centres (PPVs) has been approved for the construction, transport and manufacturing sectors, says Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy, the coordinating minister of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, said the 27 PPV will be tasked with vaccinating 373,327 workers across the three sectors.
“We might increase the number of industry PPV based on risk assessments and reports we receive.
“If there is high risk in certain sectors, then we will divert vaccines to that particular sector,” he told a press conference after visiting the PPV at the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) convention centre in Cheras here yesterday.
