Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin says some people took boat rides from islands near the Sabah capital city to get their Covid-19 jabs at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) PPV.
By July 31, Kelantan and Sabah are scheduled to receive below 50 doses per 100 people, compared to Labuan (237), Sarawak (129), and the Klang Valley (108).
Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis wants another Covid-19 vaccination centre in Kota Belud so the constituency can administer 1,000 daily jabs to inoculate all adults by end November at the earliest.
Wilfred Madius Tangau says the lack of vaccine supply is one of the reasons for the poor vaccination rate in Sabah that has fully inoculated just 14% of adults as of July 25.
Dr Rose Nani Mudin succeeds Dr Christina Rudin, who played a critical role in stemming Sabah’s Covid-19 outbreak after the state election last September.
The Sabah state government must turn their state-owned hotels into quarantine facilities as the current designated quarantine facilities have reached maximum capacity.
