Kota Kinabalu: The announcement that Sabah will be given priority to receive the single-dose CanSino Covid-19 vaccine when a supply of three million doses is received by Malaysia in August is indeed very good news, says the Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (Shareda).
Thanking the federal and state governments for their efforts in ramping up the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (Pick) in Sabah, its President Datuk Chua Soon Ping said the move will help the State achieve herd immunity faster.
“It (single-dose vaccine) is important for us to be able to reach communities in rural areas and remote islands, where their mobility is affected due to the relatively difficult and remote terrain conditions,” he said.
