Housemen, Retired Doctors Will Be Mobilised as Vaccinators- Adham

Housemen in their sixth posting will be mobilized as vaccinators at Covid-19 vaccination centres and to monitor recipients at observation centres.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba explained those who recently graduated from medical school, including dentists, medical assistants and nurses will be sent for training and issued license to practice before being mobilized to the vaccination centres.

In a press conference today, Adham said, “we will also be calling on retired practitioners or those who have bended their services to help the country in its Covid-19 National Immunisation Programme (NIP).”

He added, “the total lockdown is bearing fruit, but we continue to ask the community and everyone else to adhere to public health measures like observing physical distancing, wearing of masks and the use of hand sanitizers.”
