SelVAX Industry gives priority to companies with most number of workers

Selangor Industry and Trade Committee chairman Datuk Teng Chang Khim said SelVax will perform this undertaking via the Industry Oriented Ring Vaccination Strategy and will focus on companies registered and operating in Selangor and the Klang Valley.

"However, small and medium enterprises having less than 200 workers will also be included in the programme," he told a virtual press conference today.

He said SelVAX Industry aimed to vaccinate one million workers from July 25 until the end of October and, to date, 62,000 have registered for the programme, which involves giving 13,000 doses to the workers.

Five vaccination centres (PPVs) have been set up for this programme, namely Tropicana Gardens Mall in Kota Damansara, Evo Mall in Bandar Baru Bangi, Hotel De Palma in Shah Alam, PKNS Sports Complex in Kelana Jaya and Aurora Place in Bukit Jalil.

Teng said SelVax Industry would also carry out vaccinations through the workplace vaccination programme depending on the suitability of the location and through Selcare panel clinics in Selangor and Klang Valley.

"Capacity of vaccination at all these centres will reach 40,000 doses daily at maximum level," he said, adding that companies will be charged RM350 for two doses.
