 RMAF flies 99,400 doses of vaccine from S’wak to Sabah
Sabah received 99,400 doses of Pfizer vaccine Sunday, thanks to RMAF which helped fly the vaccines from Sarawak to Tawau. 
KUCHING: The Royal Malaysian Air Force came to aid of the Sabah National Security Council (MKN) when it flew 99,400 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine from Sarawak to Tawau, Sabah.

In a statement Sunday, RMAF said the Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine doses were loaned from the Sarawak Government from three locations, namely Kuching, Sibu and Bintulu.

The transfer was one of the Sabah Government’s efforts to accelerate the vaccination of Sabahans to achieve its 80 per cent herd immunity target by October.

“A C130 aircraft left the Labuan air base and arrived at 11.30am at the Kuching air base.

“The aircraft then took off from Kuching at 12.30pm to Sibu and Bintulu airports before landing at Tawau Airport at 4.30pm,” it said.
