KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is optimistic of reaching its target of 30,000 daily Covid-19 vaccine doses early this month, said state Community Development and People's Wellbeing minister Shahelmey Yahya.
Last month, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor was reported saying the 30,000 daily target scheduled to start today would put the state on the right track to achieve at least 70 per cent of the state's population to be inoculated by year end.
However, the vaccination statistics today indicated only 11,897 doses or 39 per cent from the targeted doses were administered to the public.
To date, 192,097 people have completed their two-dose vaccination while 891,014 registered for the programme.
"As for the 30,000 doses per day (target), it is expected to occur within early this month. There was a delivery of (vaccine) stocks yesterday but that was for the weekly delivery batch," Shahelmey told the New Straits Times.
Today, Sabah recorded 232 Covid-19 cases with two deaths in the state capital and three in Kudat.
A new cluster Nahaba 2 in Kota Belud with 27 cases was a community cluster from a funeral at Kampung Nahaba on June 11.
The cluster's 57-year-old index case was feverish since June 14 and tested positive with Covid-19 at the district hospital on June 20.
