(Bernama pic)SHAH ALAM: Beginning Sunday, 3,416 students from Selangor aged between 12 and 17 will receive the Covid-19 vaccine under the Selangor vaccination programme (Selvax) for adolescents.
Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said of the total, 1,235 will comprise students from maahad integrasi tahfiz Selangor; 1,181 students from Sekolah Rendah Agama Islam Integrasi; and 1,000 students from 50 maahad tahfiz in the state.
Vaccines will be administered at the multipurpose hall of the Klang municipal council in Pandamaran Jaya as well as vaccination centres in Port Klang, Tanjung Sepat, Bukit Lanjan and Pandamaran, from 9 am to 5 pm, he said.
“The adolescent Selvax programme will use the pre-registration method through voucher codes in the Selangkah application as was implemented before. To smoothen the vaccination process, schools will be given a special voucher code to enable students to self-register.
“Schools will also be provided with a vaccination consent form to be filled out by parents prior to getting the jabs,” he said in a statement today.
Amirudin said the vaccination programme is also open to adolescents who do not attend school whether they are citizens or non-citizens and have yet to receive their vaccine appointment, as well as adult recipients who missed their second dose appointment.
On Oct 7, Amirudin said the state government would provide 150,000 doses of the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine to 75,000 students and adolescents in the state aged between 12 and 17 through cooperation with the Selangor education and health departments, and the Selangor Islamic religious department (JAIS).
Meanwhile, Amirudin said the community Selvax programme will continue at its Selcare clinics from Oct 28 and at panel clinics throughout Selangor on Nov 1. - FMT
