Using volunteers to help gain senior citizens’ trust


An Usiamas volunteer (right) prepping seniors at a care home for their vaccination. Seniors are more receptive to vaccination when they have good peer support.

SENIOR citizens should be given accurate information on Covid-19 vaccines by people they trust so that they can make an informed decision, say experts.

As for those warded in hospitals who do not have their next of kin with them, a qualified person such as a medical doctor should be allowed to give the consent for their vaccination, with prior approval from family members.
