Covid-19: Vaccinating people living with dementia: Stop making the incredibly difficult even harder — Sharifah Tahir

JUNE 11 — Uncle Pak Chee, 73, rode his bicycle to a vaccination centre in Ipoh and received a Covid-19 vaccination. No prior registration on the MySejahtera app. He had no prior appointment. Just his curiosity and courage to ask questions.

She is in the advanced stage of the disease and naturally, along with co-morbidities, is highly susceptible to Covid-19 infection. Given her condition, she is twice as likely to get infected compared to her peers without dementia. Apparently, this was because the appointment details were not on the MySejahtera app. So why call and give my mother an appointment?

When there is so much loss with dementia, which I witness on a daily basis, every good moment, day, and experience matters. A single trigger, especially a major one, may set her back a few notches down the dementia progression trajectory and affect her quality of life negatively. It is commendable that older adults in residential care/nursing homes are slowly getting vaccinated in place, and that those living with disabilities and who are immobile may soon enjoy similar arrangements or via drive-through options.

3. Assign morning appointments with flexible hours only to avoid sundowning symptoms, where the individual experiences enhanced confusion, anxiety, aggression, and difficulty understanding/following directions, common during early evening.
