Walk-in Covid-19 vaccination for stateless persons not automatic, clarifies Sarawak deputy chief minister

KUCHING, June 20 — Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri James Masing clarified today that the “jab first, register later” approach adopted by Sarawak in its Covid-19 vaccination programme is applicable only to Malaysian citizens in rural or semi-urban areas where the MySejahtera app cannot be used or where internet line is poor.

“In areas close to the Sarawak-Kalimantan border, vaccination will only be given to those without proper documents after their status have been scrutinised,” he said in a statement when clarifying a statement issued by the Sarawak Dayak Iban Association’s Rajang branch chairman Bill Jugah yesterday.

He had said he was informed that the state government had taken note that a number of stateless persons who could not register for vaccine due to the requirement of documents, had been vaccinated.
