PUTRAJAYA (March 29): A total of 1,911 private medical practitioners (GPs) have registered to be involved in Phases 2 and 3 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba. "To maximise access to vaccine distribution more widely to the people, more GPs are called upon to get involved," he said in a statement today. Interested GPs must register with ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd (ProtectHealth) through the website www.protecthealth.com.my. Through the website, GPs can obtain information related to vaccination models, scope of work, requirements, payment rates and payment methods. The first phase of the vaccination exercise from February to April involves 500,000 frontliners, mostly health workers.
