Covid-19: Homeless getting vaccinated too, says Sarawak minister

SIBU, Sept 7 — A total of 101 out of 121 homeless people registered for the Homeless Community Vaccination Programme in Sarawak have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, with 42 of them having completed the vaccination, said State Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Child Development Minister Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah.

“No matter who or where they are, we want to get them vaccinated,” she told reporters at a vaccination programme for the homeless here last night. Fatimah said the problem of the homeless was a complex one and could not be addressed in silos, but through an integrated, collaborative, collective and holistic approach.

“The TTG will serve as a place for the homeless to clean themselves, have dinner and sleep, as well as provided the necessary intervention, like counselling,” she added.
