KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has announced that the government is now aiming to fast track Covid-19 vaccinations for those working in essential services such as the construction sector as well as the plantation and commodities industry.
The announcement by Khairy, who is also the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) coordinating minister, comes after an announcement by Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong today that 51,500 from the transportation industry have been considered “frontliners” and will be vaccinated starting today.
“The immunisation programme for another important sector for the economy will begin from July 1, that is the construction sector,” he said at the Port Klang Sport Club’s multipurpose hall today.
