Its Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said efforts include mobilising personnel into villages to give explanations to the people about the programme. "Perhaps in Sabah it (the vaccination drive) would be later as many live outside towns or in remote areas. "I am confident they will be aware and understand the need to get the vaccination for immunity against Covid-19," he said in a statement.
