KUCHING: A total of 580 individuals benefited from a free influenza vaccination programme organised by the Tzu Chi Kuching Liaison Office with support from Pharmaniaga Bhd.
The programme, aimed at promoting preventive healthcare, provided influenza vaccines to Tzu Chi beneficiary families, members of the public, and Tzu Chi volunteers.
