Covid-19: Perak expects to reach phase three of National Recovery Plan even faster, says MB

KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — Perak, which is among five states set to transition to Phase Two under the National Recovery Plan (PPN) from tomorrow, expects to reach Phase Three even faster through increased vaccination capacity and rate of Covid-19 vaccine jabs.

Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad said the state was expected to record an inoculation rate of between 25,000 and 30,000 daily once it receives 688,000 doses of vaccines this month, with the first 147,000 doses set to arrive next week.

“It is possible to reach that rate as Perak currently has 101 vaccination centres (PPV), comprising 31 in public and government hospitals as well as 70 in private clinics and hospitals,” he told reporters at the Kampung Chadak Orang Asli Village vaccination programme in Tambun, Ipoh today. 

He said the state also planned to raise the involvement of more private hospitals and clinics under its Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
