KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin went on Facebook today to provide an update on his health condition a day after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
“Everything is going well. I believe this is a safe, effective vaccine. So, many of you would like to know about my health condition today. Alhamdulillah, I feel healthy, there’s no fever, nothing out of the ordinary. I’m eating as usual and my appetite is also normal,” he said, expressing his gratitude.
Muhyiddin was the first individual in the country to receive his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine yesterday.
Among others who received the jab were Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah and four Health Ministry staffers from the Putrajaya Health Office in Precinct 11.
Meanwhile, the prime minister said he received an appointment for the second dose of the vaccine on March 17.
Muhyiddin said as a vaccine recipient, he has also received much information about the vaccine through the MySejahtera application, which he has downloaded on his mobile phone.
He then urged everyone to play their respective roles and support the government’s efforts in flattening the infection curve, and register to receive the jab through the MySejahtera application.
Muhyiddin also called on the public to continue complying with the standard operating procedures even after receiving the vaccine.
“Wear a face mask, wash your hands as usual, observe physical distancing and do not go to crowded spaces – these, we should continue to do even after we’ve been vaccinated,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dr Noor Hisham replied to Bernama on his experience today.
“I am feeling good, too. No side effects, no fever or pain. Already reported to the MySejahtera application,” he said.
He also shared a screenshot of his MySejahtera application, where he had updated his health status. – Bernama, February 25, 2021
