Genting staff vaccinated
On Tuesday, rumours emerged on Twitter that some 1,500 staff at Genting Highlands hotels received Covid-19 vaccines, ahead of the more vulnerable groups. It blamed Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy yesterday responded to the allegation, confirming that Pahang decided to vaccinate staff members at 56 hotels, including Genting hotels, without the federal government’s knowledge. He reprimanded them.
He also announced a change in policy in the deployment of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has a rare chance of blood clots among younger people.
It will be offered on a voluntary basis. Those who take up the offer will receive fast-tracked vaccination. Details will be announced in the near future.
