Vulnerable elderly people are being overlooked


I CAN empathise with Moo Toong Loy’s frustration over still waiting for his first vaccination (“Allow old folk to walk in for jabs”, The Star, June 10; online at bit.ly/star_oldfolk).

Like most seniors, I registered for Covid-19 vaccination on the MySejahtera app on Feb 24, and after months of waiting, received my first appointment on June 8 – only to realise that the PPV (vaccination centre) is in Kulai in Johor, whereas I live in Selangor! Upon rejecting the appointment, my status on MySejahtera has been stuck at the comment “Anda akan dihubungi bagi diberikan peluang didaftarkan semula kedalam program vaksinasi pada tarikh yang akan datang (You will be contacted to be given a chance to register again for the vaccination programme at a future date)”.
