Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has promised that the vaccination exercise for journalists will begin as soon as Wednesday (June 9).
This was amid a campaign by media personnel complaining about delays for their Covid-19 vaccination which had been promised since April.
“Starting today, there will be media practitioners who will get their appointments. However, the list of the total number of media practitioners is still being checked at this final stage,” Khairy was quoted as saying by
Berita Harian.
Members of the press started the #CucukMYPress and #VaccineforMediaMY hashtags on Twitter yesterday in an effort to get the government to live up to its commitment to vaccinate media practitioners.
