PUTRAJAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin took his first vaccine jab today to kick-start a nationwide exercise which aims to provide COVID-19 immunisation for free to the people in Malaysia, locals and foreigners alike.

The prime minister received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine shot at the District Health Centre in Precinct 11 here, which is among the Vaccine Dispensing Centres (PPV) identified for the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme.

Muhyiddin arrived at the clinic at about 2.25 pm and had to go through five stations at the PPV to complete the vaccination process.

He was administered the vaccine by Lina Ibrahim, a matron at the Putrajaya District Health Centre.

The first station is for temperature check and screening of symptoms; the second for registration to confirm presence for vaccination; the third for consultation and consent; the fourth for getting the COVID-19 jab and the fifth for observation.
