Task force: Confirm vaccination appointment

PUTRAJAYA: Vaccine recipients under phase two of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme are reminded to confirm their vaccination appointment within 48 hours of receiving their details, or risk having it cancelled and rescheduled to a later date.

The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force said the slots for those who failed to respond to the appointment notification would then be given to others.

“If they (recipients) confirm to be present for the vaccination appointment, a reminder will be sent three days, as well as a day before, the (actual) date, ” it said, adding that the notification for the appointment and the reminders will be sent via both the MySejahtera app and the Short Message Service (SMS).

For those who have not registered through MySejahtera, the appointment details will be sent via SMS.

The second phase of the national immunisation programme is set to begin April 19, targeting at-risk groups such as the elderly, individuals with comorbidities and persons with disabilities.

Those with queries regarding their appointment may contact the toll-free hotline at 1800-888-828. —Bernama
