To accelerate the vaccination rate at the forefront of the economy, the Ministry of Works, through the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) today, offers COVID-19 vaccination to 40,000 workers in in the construction sector.

The Ministry of Works (KKR) had presented the proposal for implementation of vaccination program for the construction sector to the The COVID-19 Immunization Special Task Force-CITF) on June 14, 2021 and it has been approved. Through this program, the private sector needs to provide and self -fund the task force and medical officers accredited as well as Vaccination Centers (PPV), while supplies as well as vaccine delivery will be provided free of charge by the Government. In this case, CIDB will coordinate and facilitate this implementation of vaccination program on behalf of the construction industry. This is part of CIDB's contribution in helping construction industry players especially in these challenging times.
