PUTRAJAYA: The phase two of the national vaccination\u00a0exercise which prioritises the elderly, those with morbidity problems and persons with disabilities will commence on April 19, said Coordinating Minister of the COVID-19 National Immunisation Programme, Khairy Jamaluddin.<\/p>\n
He said recipients would be notified on vaccination appointment\u00a0from April 5, two weeks prior to the appointment date, through the MySejahtera application, phone calls and short messaging system (SMS).<\/p>\n
As at yesterday (March 28) about two million individuals in the second phase had registered through MySejahtera, out of a target of nine million people, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile waiting for the registration from the second phase groups and when the supply of vaccines is sufficient, those who have registered under the third phase will be given priority to receive the vaccine.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the registration for the second phase is slow, we will not wait. The vaccination process for the third phase will be simplified,\u201d he said at a press conference on the development of the COVID-19 immunisation programme\u00a0here, today.<\/p>\n
The third phase involves adults aged 18 and above and is scheduled to take place this May.
