KUCHING — The Christian Ecumenical Worship Centre (CEWC) at Jalan Stampin was officially launched as a COVID-19 vaccination centre on 25 June.
Catholic Archbishop Simon Poh, as chairman of the Association of Churches Sarawak (ACS), and in collaboration with UNIFOR, has extended the use of ACS branches equipped with suitable facilities and located throughout Sarawak, for the state’s mass vaccination programme.
The offer is a Christian corporate responsibility for people in Kuching, and to expedite vaccination in rural communities to protect everyone in Sarawak.
On 24 June, a day before the official opening, 321 persons from the tourism related industry were vaccinated.
According to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Sarawak (MTAC), “a total of about 2,000 tourism industry players have registered voluntarily through their respective employers for the 4-day vaccination programme which is held from 24-27 June 2021 at the Association of Churches Sarawak at Jalan Stampin.”
