Question

Accepted Answer

The Drive-Through Vaccination Programme was Inspected at Lok Kawi Camp

The vaccination method inspected at Lok Kawi Camp was the Drive-Through Vaccination programme, implemented by the 5 Infantry Division. This initiative was part of a broader effort to vaccinate armed forces personnel in Sabah against Covid-19.
Drive-Through Vaccination Initiative by 5 Infantry Division

The programme at Lok Kawi Camp, specifically at the Padang Kawad, 3rd Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment, saw 636 individuals receive their vaccinations. This included 67 armed forces personnel, 439 family members, 69 Defence Ministry civilian employees, and 61 reserve personnel. The vaccination process was facilitated through three vehicle lanes and six stations, with 66 individuals, including medical and health officers, managing the operation.
High Vaccination Rate Among Armed Forces Personnel in Sabah

Senior Minister of Defence Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob reported that approximately 95 per cent of armed forces personnel in Sabah have received their Covid-19 vaccinations. This translates to 10,400 out of an estimated 11,000 personnel on duty in the state having received at least one dose or completed both doses. The aim is to reach 99 per cent vaccination coverage for armed forces personnel in Sabah, with an estimated need for an additional 600 vaccine doses.
Expansion of Drive-Through Vaccination Concept

Sabah is the third location to implement the drive-through vaccination concept, following successful pilot projects at Perdana Sungai Besi Camp and Muara Tuang Camp in Sarawak. Future implementations are planned for Kabota Camp in Tawau and Sri Kinabatangan Camp in Sandakan. This method has also been suggested as a potential option for the public, including armed forces veterans in Sabah, if the state government requires assistance from relevant ministries to achieve herd immunity targets.
