This is to ensure that the community members take PCR tests and those above the age of 18 will also receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
The DoH encourages the pharmacies that wish to provide COVID-19 vaccines and PCR tests to apply and add speciality applications through the TAMM platform. The programme will be expanded and the offered services include other types of vaccinations, such as the seasonal flu vaccine and various travel vaccines.
