Covid-19: Volunteers serving persons with disabilities will also receive allowance, says PM

He said the OKU Sentral drive-through vaccination centre here, for example, currently has approximately 100 volunteers helping to manage and ensure smooth running of the Covid-19 vaccination process involving persons with disabilities.

"The daily allowance increase from RM50 to RM100 is also given to these volunteers who numbered about 100 now and counting,” he told a press conference after visiting the OKU Sentral drive-though PPV at Menara Sime Darby Plantation here Thursday .

Meanwhile, Muhyiddin said that there were 579,150 persons with disabilities registered with the Social Welfare Department and 280,904 of them had registered for vaccination under National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme as of June 20.At the same time, the Prime Minister repeated his statement that the issue of vaccine supply delivery was not only faced by Malaysia but also other countries due to monopoly by developed nations.

"Even though we have signed for the number of vaccines needed, but only half of it has arrived, and until today, not even"We have the capacity but we don’t have enough vaccine. That is why I have ordered Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba and Science, Technology and Innovation Khairy Jamaluddin to negotiate with all suppliers,” he said.

Muhyiddin said the government will continue negotiating the matter to ensure that all vaccines secured will be received to achieve herd immunity by end of this year. - Bernama

Can Gov extend the same benefits to those volunteers at GP & KK? Can be subject to the GPs achieving x number of doses/month. The more GPs we can bring into the program ~ the better it is for communities and capacity.
