Non-citizens living in Perak can now walk into any of the 22 designated vaccination centres (PPV) to receive their COVID-19 inoculation.
The Menteri Besar of Perak, Dato’ Saarani Mohamad said that this service is also included for undocumented migrants.
“Based on the responses received, it seems that certain Perakeans were disappointed that they didn’t get their appointments through MySejahtera without knowing that they could already walk in for vaccination.
“As such, I urge Perakeans aged 18 and above who’ve yet to receive their appointments to do so. Just go to any one of the PPVs, whichever is nearest, and request for vaccination on the spot.
“Do take note that this service is available only until October 31 this year,” he told reporters during a media session at the State Secretariat Building in Ipoh here, today (September 22).
According to data provided by the Ministry of Health (MOH) via their COVIDNOW website, 1,549,044 (equivalent to 83.1 percent) Perakeans above the age of 18 have received at least one dose of the vaccine, out of which 1,160,723 (equivalent to 62.3 percent) are fully vaccinated, as of September 21, 2021.
