Multimedia University (MMU) through its University Community Transformation Centre (UCTC) supported the Mobile Vaccination Programme, which was led by Mercy Malaysia, Melaka Chapter; and Kolej Universiti Islam Melaka (KUIM) and Melaka State Health Department. The programme which focuses on senior citizens was started in May 2021 and will end in July 2021. A group of students, staff, and alumni are assigned as non-medical volunteers along with the medics from KUIM.
The Mobile Vaccination assist the Melaka State Health Department to speed up the process for senior citizens to be vaccinated as they are more susceptible to the infection as the majority of them have comorbidities including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, asthma and others. Hence, the senior citizens receive their vaccination without going to the vaccination centre (PPV). The initiative was also shared in the social media platform by Kerajaan Negeri Melaka, Melaka Health State Department, Melaka Hari Ini (MHI), and many more.
Well done!
