He said this would include foreign nationals and undocumented migrants who can get their Covid-19 vaccination at 23 public PPVs in all 12 districts in the state.

“This move is to ensure we achieve herd immunity soon, and it is hoped that all parties will play their roles to ensure the vaccination exercise runs smoothly,” he said today.

Mohd Akmal added that individuals who have not received their appointments via the MySejahtera application are also encouraged to come, but the daily slots are filled on a first-come first-served basis.

He said those who wish to obtain their vaccination at the PPVs must ensure that they are asymptomatic, not classified as close contacts and not undergoing quarantine.

Previously, Perak menteri besar Saarani Mohamad was reported as saying that the state government expected to achieve herd immunity by October.

The target is based on several strategies formulated by the state government through the national Covid-19 immunisation programme (PICK) to speed up its inoculation programme for all in the state.

According to the special committee for ensuring access to Covid-19 vaccine supply (JKJAV), a total of 1.4 million or 57.2% of the adult population in Perak had received their first dose at 45 PPVs as of Sept 9.
