Elderly woman walks 3km just to get vaccinated


KOTA BARU (Bernama): Not even a faulty motorcycle could stop 76-year-old single mother Siti Merian Sulong (pic) from walking about 3km from her home in Kampung Pasir Hor here to get her Covid-19 vaccine jab at the Balai Islam Complex in Lundang last week.

She said she was determined to get the jab although she had to walk for almost three hours to get to the vaccination centre (PPV) on June 1 after the motorcycle owned by her son, Suhaimi Husin, 42, broke down.
