KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 — The Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services Malaysia (CUEPACS) has urged 1.6 million civil servants in this country to give their full support and cooperation in making the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its president Adnan Mat said as the front machinery of the country\u2019s administration, civil servants should set an example for the society so that they would be confident and get accurate information on the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that healthy civil servants would be the driving force for the government\u2019s machinery to implement the country’s economic recovery programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no reason for civil servants to reject the COVID-19 vaccine or not taking part in the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme because we are the frontliners to ensure the country\u2019s victory in the battle\u00a0against the pandemic,\u201d he said\u00a0in a statement here, today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah became among the early recipients of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine to mark the beginning of the nationwide immunisation programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adnan said civil servants could show their support and cooperation to the programme by registering for the vaccination via the MySejahtera application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also advised those who have or would receive the vaccine shots to share positive stories so as not to cause worry among society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there is any problems or allergies, they must refer to the relevant parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot fail the implementation of the largest immunisation programme in the country\u2019s history because this is our last chance to return to normal life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
