KUCHING: Six hundred and forty vaccine recipients were inoculated at the Batu Kawa Health Clinic last Sunday (June 13).

Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) advisor Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian said that the vaccination process on Sunday went smoothly.
“This is possible because of the cooperation from the public; they did not arrive much earlier than their scheduled appointments given through the MySejahtera app,” he said in a Facebook post last Sunday (June 13).
Dr Sim, who is also Local Government and Housing Minister, commended the health clinic and volunteers for their great teamwork which ensured the smooth running of the vaccination process.
