The PPV, which has been operating for the last 66 days and has the capacity to administer 5,000 Covid-19 vaccine doses a day, will be closed for good, following the announcement by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin on Monday that there was no need for mega PPVs to continue administering the Covid-19 vaccine, as the majority of the people are now fully vaccinated.

Sharing the same sentiment, Izzat Arif said that the volunteers were like a big family at the PPV, and he was sad that this would be their last day together. "However, I managed to keep my cool because I realise that as MyVAC volunteers, we represent various parties such as the Health Ministry; Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry; Youth and Sports Ministry; Higher Education Ministry and the Malaysian Red Crescent Society ,” she added.
