“To avoid complications on the day, a trial run will be carried out from June 3 to 6, with vaccinations officially beginning on June 7.
“We are working closely with the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) and Ministry of Health (MoH) to ensure that the centre is prepared to serve the public safely and efficiently,” he said today.

Meanwhile, BCCK chief executive officer Eric Van Piggelen urged everyone eligible for vaccination to register for the sake of public safety as well the nation’s economy.
