Sabah Health director Datuk Dr Rose Nani Mudin said this approach, known as the Rapid Assessment and Vaccination Operation , is one of the department’s latest strategies to get as many people vaccinated.
“The first district we visited for this programme is Sandakan, where it was organised from Oct 7 to 11,” she said. “For example, we will visit towns, shops, market areas, supermarkets and water villages, among other places. Anyone we find unvaccinated will be given their jab then and there,” she said.Dr Rose said their next stop will be Tawau where they hope to get as many vaccinated against the respiratory virus as possible.
This is so that the numbers and statistics on the inoculated and vice versa will be more accurate, she said.Earlier, Dr Rose explained that the low vaccination rate in Sabah was due to several reasons including geographical factors, where many live in the interior and hard to reach areas.
