PUTRAJAYA – Covid-19 vaccine recipients in phase two of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme are reminded to confirm their vaccination appointments within 48 hours of receiving their details or risk having them cancelled and rescheduled to later dates.
The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force said in a statement today that the slots for those who failed to respond to appointment notifications would then be given to others, ensuring that the vaccination process can be carried out smoothly.
“If they (recipients) confirm their presence for vaccination appointments, reminders will be sent three days in advance, as well as a day prior to the date,” it said, adding that the notification for the appointment and the reminders would be sent both via the MySejahtera app and SMS.
For those who have not registered through MySejahtera, the appointment details will be sent via SMS, and confirmations can be made by replying “YES” or “NO” to the message.
The second phase of the national immunisation programme is set to begin on April 19, targeting at-risk groups such as the elderly, individuals with comorbidities, and people with disabilities.
Appointments details have been sent to recipients beginning Monday (April 5).
Members of the public with any queries regarding their appointments may contact the hotline at 1800-888-828. – Bernama, April 9, 2021
