Kuala Lumpur: There will be no more walk ins allowed at off-site Covid-19 vaccination centres (PPV) for boosters, said ProtectHealth Corporation chief executive officer Datuk Dr Anas Alam Faizli.
He told this to the New Straits Times following reports of snaking queues and crowding at PPVs in the Klang Valley.
He stated that only those with appointments on their MySejahtera app would be entertained at the centres.
"Walk-ins to off-site PPVs are not allowed. It is by appointment only. Everyone will get their appointment by age de-escalation," said Anas when contacted today.
He however said those who are eligible or urgently seeking booster shots but have not received a MySejahtera appointment may continue to register on the waiting list at the PPVs of their choice.
To do so log on to ProtectHealth's website at https://www.protecthealth.com.my and select Find Vaccination Centre (PPV) https://vaksincovid.protecthealth.com.my/find, then search for the PPV registered under the firm which manages the immunisation programme.
One can also call or email your preferred or nearest PPV for registration.
People are also advised to register at only one PPV in a private health facility to avoid double booking.
Those who have successfully registered will be on a waiting list after registration and contacted by the PPV in the event of an appointment cancellation or no-show by others who have appointments via MySejahtera.
