Under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme which started on February 26, a total of about 7 000 persons today (February 28) received their first doses of the vaccine. Since February 22, a cumulative total of over 20 000 persons have been vaccinated.
"Getting vaccinated can not only protect oneself, but also family members and friends, and will help reduce the risk of a community outbreak. We call on citizens in the five priority groups to get vaccinated early so that our economy and way of life could return to normal as soon as possible," a Government spokesman said.
