Over 100,000 vaccine doses administer­ed in Unimas PPV

-

KOTA SAMARAHAN: More than 100,000 doses of vaccine have already been given to recipients at the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) Covid-19 vaccinatio­n centre (PPV) since its opening.

According to Unimas vice chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Mohamad Kadim Suaidi, such feat was made possible thanks to efforts of the university to come up with ways to ensure the vaccinatio­n process at the centre runs smoothly.

“We have our own queue system developed by us, for example to assist those who come to Unimas to get their vaccines and thanks to the system, at one time (on June 25) we managed up to 5,540 doses to individual­s in one day,” he told reporters at the university yesterday.

He said Unimas is grateful that they could play a role in combating the Covid-19 pandemic in Sarawak, and one of the ways it could assist was through the Unimas vaccinatio­n centre which began operations on June 14.

Meanwhile, volunteers and Unimas officials who were stationed at the Unimas vaccinatio­n centre were seen wearing traditiona­l Sarawakian costumes in conjunctio­n with the Sarawak Day celebratio­n yesterday.

“With our volunteers wearing traditiona­l costumes of all ethnicitie­s in Sarawak, we also want to remind everyone of the significan­ce of Sarawak Day to the people of Sarawak and its multi-racial identity,” said Mohamad Kadim.
