KOTA KINABALU: Prison inmates in Sabah have started getting their Covid-19 vaccines starting this week.

Sabah Prisons Department director Nora Musa said she was told that the inmates were getting the single-dose CanSino vaccines.

She said with the vaccination for inmates starting, it would improve the work confidence and safety aspects for prison wardens and staff of the department. "Now we feel safer with vaccination of our prison warders as well as inmates," she said, adding that she hopes all the inmates would be vaccinated as soon as possible."Prior to their vaccination, we briefed them on the importance of getting protected against the virus, the self-effects from the vaccine shots as well as the risks of infection for those who did not want to be vaccinated," Nora said.
