MELAKA (Bernama): Residents of Melaka, including non-citizens in the state, can get the Covid-19 vaccine by walk-in at all public and mega vaccination centres (PPV) starting on Saturday (Sept 11).

       Melaka Health and Anti-Drug Exco Datuk Rahmad Mariman said the initiative was to accelerate the goal of achieving herd immunity as 69,972 out of 677,400 adults aged 18 and above in the state have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

       "Therefore, all citizens aged 18 and above who have not yet received an appointment date can go to any public and mega PPV in Melaka starting tomorrow from 8.30am to 4pm," he said in a statement today. - Bernama
