KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — The Malaysian Medical Association echoed today calls for the government to inoculate undocumented migrants whose protection is key to fighting Covid-19 amid the race to contain the spread of more contagious variants in the country.
“Every effort must be made to ensure they are inoculated in the quickest time possible,” MMA president Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy said in a statement. Malaysia has an estimated two to three million undocumented migrants nationwide. Majority are usually employed informally in the construction, manufacturing and plantation sectors.
“All population groups including Malaysia’s high undocumented migrant population must be included in its vaccination drive.”
