YONG PENG: A new vaccination centre (PPV) will be opening near the popular Prosperity Dragon tourist attraction here on July 18, saving the town's residents the hassle of travelling to other towns for their Covid-19 jabs. The society is also home to the 106.9m dragon statue launched by Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar in 2016. Dr Wee said the PPV would be able to administer 500 doses a day once it starts operating, before gradually increasing to 2, 000 daily doses from 8am to 5pm. “After a few rounds of discussions and site visits from the District Office, Health Department, Yong Peng District Council and other agencies, the plan was up and running. The centre would have 10 vaccination booths, he added.
