To fight the Covid-19 pandemic, the Malaysian government has set up PPVs across the country as part of the National Immunisation Programme. These PPVs are staffed with medical personnel who are tasked with the sole purpose of vaccinating the population against the coronavirus.
To get an appointment at one of the many PPVs, all you need to do is download the MySejahtera mobile application and register for your vaccine via the application.
Before you head over for your COVID-19 vaccination appointment, here’s what you should know to ensure best possible experience:
Note: For 2nd dose appointment, do remember to bring along your vaccine appointment card, consent form and NRIC/Passport.
Remember to follow SOPs such as wearing masks, practice hand hygiene and physical distancing when you are at the PPV.
Post-vaccination, it is essential to keep in mind that your symptoms may differ from those around you. Everybody reacts to the vaccine differently, and this guide will help you distinguish what is common and what requires medical attention.
Remain at the observation area to be monitored for any severe reactions. These are likely to occur within 15 minutes of your vaccination, and medical staff will be on hand to ensure any of these rare reactions are dealt with immediately.
Paracetamol has been widely recommended by public health authorities globally as a safe treatment for the majority of post-vaccine reactions, such as fever and mild to moderate pain. However, patients should always seek appropriate medical advice and local guidance before consuming paracetamol should there be any known allergies or intolerance of the drug.
Hydration is essential post-vaccination, particularly if you have any side effects. Ensuring adequate hydration and rest will allow the body to acclimatise to the effects of the vaccine quicker. Do not exert yourself too much in the days following the vaccination to ensure you do not exacerbate any of the symptoms. It is recommended that you do not partake in strenuous activities for a week after receiving your vaccinations.
