As we all know, the roll out for vaccination program in Malaysia is still very new idea to all. At the moment, only senior citizens are eligible to the national vaccination program. So, for ya’ll who have elderly at home, if you have already registered for covid vaccination under my sejahtera app, remember to help them to check their appointment regularly through the app. Because apparently, the government won’t call, or there won’t be notification on their phone. It made me wonder what happen if you’ve missed your appointment?

Since, I’ve accompanied both my uncles and aunty to their vaccination trip, I guess I could share to you what to expect from the national vaccination program. I’m not sure if it’s the same for every state or location. But at least, it should give you a rough idea.

So if your grandpop or grandma is not literate, and needed translation, bring ONE person along to help translate. Help them to fill up where necessary in the form. Things to bring along:-

1. Identity Card (IC)
2. MySejahtera APP (the one that shows the appointment date)
3. Pen (to isi form)
4. ONE Translator (optional)

So there’s some question you need to fill up in the form, especially if you have any allergies to vaccine or food. But, don’t worry if you’re not sure, you can consult a doctor inside to inquire further. At this point, you also have to give consent to want or don’t want the jab. After that, autograph at bottom.

As we see here, many have registered but only small amount ppl turn out at the vaccination center, because many were uninformed about it. I can only imagine, when it’s my turn when masses were more informed about it, sure crowded gila. But so far, the managed the crowd quite well.

Yes, when you come for vaccination, make sure you are healthy, because you are actually jabbing small amount of COVID-19 to your body. So you don’t want to get full blown covid-19, if you’re sick. IMPORTANT! Also, if you have any allergy, like serious type, doctor will write a letter for you to get your jab in hospital. BUT you still need to turn up at this vaccination center first.

Next, they will key in your details into system and also update your MySejahtera app. Rmb to scan here.

Then we wait for our turn to get the jabs…You can also ask what vaccine you kena jab here. Even you cannot choose. The doc told us we getting COMMINARTY, which is a vaccine for elderly manufactured by PFIZER. Oklah, so long is vaccine. We can eat anything after the jab.

Everyone wants to get a photo when kena jab like our PM, but not all frontliners were THAT friendly. But please understand, and be courteous – how tired they are serving everyone.

Lastly, you will have to take 30mins rest to see your reaction to the vaccine. If you feel unwell, remember to inform the medical staff there.

Do not misplaced your vaccination card. Keep it with your IC. I think it is important for future, and it also indicate your next appointment. Also, please remember to bring it along on your next appointment. The entire process took us about 1-1.5hour. It was a smooth process. I hope it will continue be like that as more and more people will be jabbed in future.
