BATU PAHAT: At least 100,000 public transport drivers in the Klang Valley including those involved in e-hailing services are being targeted for Covid-19 vaccination by the end of next month.
Transport minister Wee Ka Siong said the ministry would ensure the target would be met so as to help expedite the process of herd immunity, besides enabling the drivers to serve in the public transport sector.
He said the ministry was satisfied with the increased rate of vaccination that would be available for workers in the public transportation sector via the large-scale immunisation.
“The vaccination for this group will continue to be boosted as they too are among the frontliners who have been working from the beginning of the movement control order.
“We will submit the names of those in the public transportation sector to the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) secretariat.
“If there are slots available, they will be given priority,” he said at a media conference today after handing over food baskets to residents in the Ayer Hitam parliamentary constituency. - FMT
