3 million people have registered for the vaccine in Feb but some haven't received their appointment. We asked Khairy about it and here is his response.

Phase 3 of the National Immunisation Programme has already started in most states, and Malaysia is currently administering an average of over 400,000 doses per day. Although healthy adults under 60 are now getting their jabs under Phase 3, senior citizens and people with chronic under Phase 2 are still being prioritised.

However, there are still a number of individuals that have registered in February but have yet to receive their vaccine appointment. Adding to the frustration, there are people who have registered much later and they have already gotten their jab.vaccine coordination minister Khairy Jamaluddin about the current queue system and whether appointments are still being sent out on a first-come-first-served basis.

Khairy explained for Phase 2 appointments, registrants are prioritised based on their age and comorbidities regardless of when they are registered. The queue starts from the higher age group and then it goes down. He explained if a 90-year-old registered today, they will still be prioritised for the vaccination.

However, once that pool of appointments is exhausted, appointments will be given based on a first-come-first-served basis.. From this pool, roughlyhave already received their appointments. He said that goes to show that the algorithm is pushing out appointments based on the date of registration. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide details of the remaining 650,000 people that have registered in February.
