Efforts to administer the Covid-19 vaccine to frontline personnel, including media practitioners and their families, should be intensified, said Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin.
He said this was because there were some workers in the "frontliner" category who have yet to receive their jabs.
“(The role) of frontliners is important. That is why the government and if possible, private companies, should provide all facilities and assistance to this group,” he said after officiating the handing over of Covid-19 prevention kits to frontliner households in Kuala Lumpur today.
The programme, organised by the World Society of Sports and Exercise Medicine (WSSEM), will distribute between 500 and 1,000 personal health kits, including face masks and hand sanitisers, to frontliners throughout the country.
The kits will also be distributed to media practitioners.
Besides that, Zahidi said the Appreciation Message for Frontline Heroes programme would continue even after Covid-19 infection in the country drops.
