Rewarding Vaccinated Senior Citizens with Food Basket

 30 July 2021:

To date, more than 80 percent of the population age 18 and above in the Kinta District have registered for covid-19 vaccination. Of these, less than 40 percent have received 1 dos and about 20 percent are fully vaccinated.

In order to encourage more people to register and get vaccinated so that we can achieve a herd immunity with 80 percent fully vaccinated, Lions Club of Perak Silver State in collaboration with Ipoh City Council tracked residents especially senior citizens in Pasir Pinji to register for vaccination.

According to Club President, Dr. Richard Ng who is also the Ipoh City Councillor for Pasir Pinji, the tracking was carried out from house to house while providing groceries to needy in Pasir Pinji two months ago under the MBI Caring scheme. With the help of People’s Representative Committee (JPP), we will enquire if the recipients and their family members have registered and received the vaccination.

“I was surprised to find many of them have not done so especially among the senior citizens. Among the reasons given include their inability to register via MySejahtera apps as they have no smartphone, lack of knowledge, no access to internet and also uncertainties due to too many anti-vaxxers stories that have scared them.”

“I then got my team from Lions Club of Perak Silver State (LCPSS) together with JPP members to bring along the Vaccination registration form and register them instantly.”

“I told them that once they have received the covid vaccination we will provide them incentives in the form of more groceries and other necessities contributed by Ipoh City Council and LCPSS.”

We delivered our promise by providing food basket to the first 30 recipients recently held at the Pasir Pinji Community Hall. Pasir Pinji Police Chief, SM Ramlee Bin Isa, have kindly consented to give away the food baskets to 20 recipients and the remainder were sent directly to their home.
