KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 — Since last week, long queues and crowds have been seen at various vaccination centres in the Klang Valley as people were hoping to get their booster shots even though they did not have appointments.
In response to this surge of walk-ins, ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd is encouraging people to call and be put on a waitlist instead of physically heading to vaccination centres .This is not just to avoid disappointments but to prevent large gatherings which are against Covid-19 SOPs as these places simply could not accommodate social distancing.“We’ve seen a lot of crowds at off-site PPVs under ProtectHealth after the announcement of a shortened vaccine interval to three months.
“For your information, in principle, those with appointments must be prioritised. We allowed walk-ins initially for registrations as a backup list. However, when there is additional supply of the vaccine, the PPV is allowed to accept walk-ins. Operationally, the PPV would accept walk-ins based on ground conditions which can change from time to time.”
He said those who do not have appointments can register via email or phone private PPVs as listed on the ProtectHealth website. He explained that this is why the contact information of PPVs are shared on ProtectHealth’s website, and that ProtectHealth is working closely with the Ministry of Health and will be opening up more PPVs to provide appointments and maximise vaccinations.
