PUTRAJAYA: The government will be looking to reach out to those who lack access to the Internet as it moves forward with expanding the AstraZeneca (AZ) voluntary opt-in programme to beyond Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, says Khairy Jamaluddin.
The coordinating minister of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme said the programme would be expanded to more people in Malaysia as the government expects at least 1.1 million more doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to arrive this month.
“We are looking to expand the AZ programme, as we have more vaccines coming from the Covax facility and AZ itself. We will continue to maintain it as an opt-in voluntary programme under the national immunisation programme.
PETALING JAYA: Registering to be vaccinated under the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme might be an easy affair for tech-savvy adults and teenagers, but it could be a challenge for senior citizens, after dismal numbers were reflected in recent reports.
To address the issue, several initiatives were rolled out by the government and NGOs, among them the Covid-19 vaccine registration platform Imunisel by the Selangor state government.
ImuniSel, which was launched in April, aims to register those who do not have a smart phone or Internet access.
In a tweet, Selangor Task Force for Covid-19 (STFC) committee member Dr Helmi Zakariah urged interested Malaysians to register as volunteers to help register the non-tech-savvy at imunisel.my
