SIBU: The State Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) has so far spent a total of RM300mil for its Covid-19 vaccination programme in the state.

Its chairman, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said that the expenditure also included the provision of support facilities for the treatment of Covid-19.

"For example, carrying out vaccination drives in upstream Baram, upstream Batang Rajang, and other remote areas require boats and helicopters as well as the fuel to get there," he stressed. Separately Uggah also expressed his concern that 7.1% of those eligible to get the second booster dose had yet to get the injection. He urged them to get the injection immediately.
