As part of EUROCHAM’s coordination effort on Covid-19 vaccination roll-out with all Bilateral & Associate chambers as well as the advocacy work of many chambers and associations finally resulted in a practical response by the government of Malaysia in the form of a launching announcement of the Covid-19 Public-Private Industrial Immunisation Program (PIKAS) as Phase 4 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Program (PICK) that will involve immunisation of employees in the manufacturing sector.
While EUROCHAM Malaysia has been spearheading this initiative in different proposals also acknowledged by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, we do recognize that there have been significant delays as well as changes in how the final programme is to be executed. We apologise for the delays and hope that this progress is considered a positive impact of our advocacy work conducted together with the EU bilateral chambers as well as many other foreign and local chambers and associations. We also thank all companies for their patience and collaboration. We are finally able to proceed via PIKAS.
