By Norrasyidah Arshad

SHAH ALAM, Sept 7 — After a successful six weeks of operation from July 26, the Puchong Indah vaccination centre (PPV) has now closed since two days ago.

Kinrara state representative Ng Sze Han said throughout its operation, a total of 51,834 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine were administered at the PPV, of which 25,190 were for the first dose shots and the remaining 26,644 doses for the second dose jabs. 

He said the PPV was opened as part of the bigger steps towards achieving herd immunity.

“Vaccine has proven to be the best method to curb the outbreak of the Covid-19.

“For those who have yet to receive the vaccine, please visit any PPV which is still in operation to get your vaccine,” he said on Facebook. 

Ng, who is also the state executive councillor for local government, said his team has carried out various efforts to encourage Kinrara residents, including foreign citizens, to get vaccinated.

“This includes notifying them through social media platforms as well as conducting house-to-house visits,” he said.

On June 25, the state executive councillor for public health Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud had asked the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) to set up a small-scale PPV in Puchong to help expedite the vaccination process for the nearby residents.

Following the request, the Dewan Serbaguna MBSJ in Puchong Indah was opened on July 26 and the PPV accommodated between 1,000 to 1,500 people at one time.
