Kota Kinabalu: A viral message saying people can walk in for Covid-19 vaccine jabs is false, said Sabah Health Director Datuk Dr. Christina Rundi.

The message that said people aged 60 and above in Kota Kinabalu can simply walk in for vaccination at the “Dewan Mini Putrajaya starting today” has been circulating since yesterday.

“No walk-in,” Rundi told Daily Express in a text message.

Rundi later shared an announcement by the Sabah Health Department that states the viral message is untrue and that people have to register for their vaccination appointment.
