GEORGE TOWN: Senior citizens in Penang who have yet to get their Covid-19 shots can walk into selected centres for immediate vaccination and expect a smooth experience because there are fewer than 10% of them in the state who are yet to be vaccinated.

Northeast district Health officer Datin Dr Azizah Abdul Manan said more than 90% of those aged 60 and above were already vaccinated and in some districts, every senior citizen who registered had turned up for their jabs.“As the walk-in process is meant only for senior citizens, we will ensure that this process will not disrupt the ongoing flow of vaccination for others.

On Thursday, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow announced that senior citizens who had not gotten any vaccination appointments could walk in for jabs.
