IPOH: The management at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRBP) has denied viral claims that a local celebrity and her husband had jumped the queue to get the Covid-19 vaccination there. The hospital’s director Dr Abdul Malek Osman in a statement said the artist, Datin Paduka Eina Azman, and her husband were referred by a specialist, as both had health and co-morbidities issues. He said the hospital’s vaccination centre received referrals of patients from various health facilities within and outside of Perak. “All patients referred to this centre have undergone initial checks under the ‘Pre Vaccination Assessment', which can only be obtained from government hospital specialist health clinics. “HRBP only injects the vaccine to the referred patient and does not carry out the assessment at the facility.
