BAU, March 19: Some 27,805 people in Bau district have registered for the Covid-19 vaccination.

Tasik Biru assemblyman Datuk Henry Harry Jinep said he is satisfied with the positive response, having achieved the target of 70 per cent registration for the vaccination.

“In Bau district, we have 116 villages and with a population of about 40,000 and to date some 27, 805 have registered through their respective village headman, which is about 70 per cent of the total and I am satisfied because the people really want to get vaccinated for Covid-19,” Henry told reporters today.

He has earlier launched the RM5 million Musi-Buso Bailey bridge project near here.

Henry believed that those who did not register with the village headman are doing so through MySajehtera application.

Henry also shared his experience after getting the first dose of the vaccination, saying that it has no side effect on him.

He, therefore hoped that the people in Bau district get vaccinated, adding that he will get the second dose of the vaccination soon.

Henry had his first dose of Covid-19 vaccination last month together with Serembu assemblyman Miro Simuh. — DayakDaily
