MIRI, July 7: The Miri Division Vaccine Operation Room has received 806 registrations for Covid-19 vaccination through WhatsApp which is the latest hybrid registration method adopted to ensure no one is left behind in receiving the vaccine.

Minister-in-charge of Miri Divisional Disaster Management Committee (Miri DDMC) Datuk Lee Kim Shin emphasised that apart from registering through MySejahtera, the public may also provide their details for registration by contacting community leaders and Ketua Kaum, or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or the nearest health clinics.

“For those eligible, 18 years and above, who have not registered or have not received their vaccination appointments, please contact the operation room through WhatsApp or call to coordinate the registration for vaccination.


“Miri Division is very proactive in the hybrid Covid-19 vaccination application approach to ensure that all eligible residents will not miss out from getting the vaccine jabs,” he told Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) yesterday.

Lee, who was accompanied by Miri Division acting resident Jamalie Busri, visited the Vaccine Operation Room here to assess and ensure the process in handling public calls and inquiries for Covid-19 vaccination, registration and others.
