THE vaccination outreach programme will be restarted for Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya residents who have still not received their Covid-19 vaccine, said Deputy Federal Territories Minister Jalaluddin Alias.

He said the focus would be on areas with more than 500 cases in the past two weeks, with particular focus on People’s Housing Project and Kuala Lumpur City Hall housing areas.

“Should cases hit 500 in the area, we will send a vaccination mobile unit there. So, city dwellers aged 18 and above who have not received their vaccine can immediately go to the outreach location later.

“Initially, the programme was stopped, but I had discussions with Federal Territories Minister Shahidan Kassim to reinstate the programme,” Jalaluddin said.

He added that more detailed information was needed for the Federal Territories to transition to the next phase of the national recovery plan, a matter that was discussed in a recent meeting. – Bernama, September 6, 2021.
