The Malaysia Shopping Malls Association’s statement contradicts government-owned ProtectHealth Corporation’s denial about collecting any fee for Covid-19 vaccine rollouts in shopping centres.
Dr Kelvin Yii suggests sending Covid-19 vaccines directly to GP clinics, instead of requiring the clinics to collect the vaccines themselves from designated centres.
Why is CITF diverting Covid-19 vaccines away from PICK when we have inoculated just a fraction of 9.4 million individuals who face the highest risk of developing severe disease or dying from the virus – the elderly and people with comorbidities or disabilities?
We must fully utilise this two-week “circuit-breaker” to reset our public health strategies to ensure that the lockdown is optimised with science-based, anti-Covid-19 interventions.
Health Minister Dr Adham Baba says the Covid-19 vaccines distributed by state governments and the private sector will be administered concurrently with the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK).
ProtectHealth Corporation and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs deny collecting any fee for the Covid-19 vaccination programme that is being charged at RM50 per recipient by shopping centres.
