KUALA LUMPUR: The Immigration Department will not interfere in the vaccination programme for migrants nor station its officials near the Covid-19 vaccination sites, said Immigration Department director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.
He made this promise to ensure a safe passage for foreigners in a WhatsApp message to Bernama.
Walk-ins for those facing barriers to vaccines such as irregular migrants and refugees are set to begin tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but whether it succeeds is still a question.
Vaccinating millions of irregular migrants in Malaysia remains part of the country’s plan to gain control over Covid-19 within its borders.
