Health officer: 30,000 doses of CanSino Covid-19 vaccine for Semporna residents | Malay Mail

SEMPORNA, Aug 4 — A total of 30,000 doses of the CanSino single-dose Covid-19 vaccine is scheduled to arrive in the district next week to facilitate the vaccination process for those living on several islands there, said Semporna district health officer Dr Shameer Khan Sulaiman.

Therefore, he said the use of the single-dose vaccine would make it more convenient for both healthcare workers and islanders. Dr Shameer Khan, however, said the single-dose vaccine would only be used for island residents, while the two-dose vaccine would continue to be given to the people at the mainland.

Meanwhile, he said more than 8,000 out of the 16,000 residents eligible for vaccination in the Sulabayan state constituency, covering 29 populated islands here, had received two doses of Covid-19 vaccine, as of yesterday.
