First Dose of AstraZenica Vaccination – 17 May 2021 at World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur

 

If you had already registered under MySejahtera for vaccination, you were entitled to register as a volunteer for the AstraZeneca vaccination which was removed from the main program.  The option  to volunteer was made available at 12p.m. on 2 May 2021 on https://www.vaksincovid.gov.my/ on a first come first served basis.

After a lot of technical issues, my husband managed to secure a spot by around 12.20pm. He managed to get an appointment on 12 May, 10a.m at World Trade Centre (WTC). Since he was lucky enough, I asked him to register for me and he managed to get me an appointment on 17 May, 7pm. Since I was ok with the date and time, I confirmed my appointment.




I arrived at 5.45pm and left the WTC at 7.50pm. Let’s take you step by step from the moment you arrive: -

Step 1

I managed to get nice parking at the basement car park of the WTC. Just walked out to the main entrance and followed the signs posted everywhere.

Step 2

There will be police and army everywhere and lots of people. CIMB Bank will be on the ground floor. Go and look for your Station (specified in your MySejahtera) and start queuing. From time to time, you will hear announcements. If you are late for your appointment, go to the front. There is also a specific lane for OKU and elderly citizens.

 


Police everywhere

Check out the queue. All decided to come early for vaccination. Can't wait.


Check out our Malaysian celebrity, Datuk Chris Leong (Tit Tar-medicine man) 

Upon entering the main entrance, scan your MySejahtera and take your temperature as normal. Continue to queue inside the building, in accordance to your allocated Station.



You will be lead on. You will see the boutique Ariani on your right side. This time they will lead you to your seats.

 



Step 3

Once seated, again, you will be asked to scan MySejahtera. Someone will announce to you and tell you what to do.

 

Step 4

You will be asked to take the escalators to Aras 4. Enter the main hall (Dewan Merdeka) take your  temperature and continue queuing. You will be given two (2) sets of consent forms and a number. You will be ushered to your seat and are requested to fill the form. Please bring your own pen. Also, please bring your jacket, if you are unable to stand the coldness in the hall.

My consent form and number (2 sets)

Step 5

Once your number is called, proceed to another hall for registration. Please show your appointment on your MySejahtera. You will be asked to click the vaccine appointment on your MySejahtera.

Step 6

After registration, you will be asked to see the medical officer. The medical officer will ask you about your medical conditions and whether you have ever had any allergic reactions to medication. The medical officer will also explain the side effects that you may encounter and what to do if you develop the side effects. Once you agree to give consent, sign the form in front of the medical officer and the medical officer will also sign.   




Step 7

You will be asked to be seated and wait for your turn to be jabbed. You will be guided to the cubicle. And voila …… Please ask permission from your nurse whether can video or take pictures yeah. No pain at all when jabbed. Once done, go outside and scan the code in front of the cubicle to indicate that you have received the first dose of the vaccination.

It's me getting the jab. No pain at all. 

Step 8

Take the escalator downstairs. You will be asked to go to the front counter to hand over your consent form and you will be given a vaccination card. Please fill up your name and NRIC. Again, they will brief you on what to look out for and will give you a time as to what time you can leave since they need to observe you (normally 15 or 30 mins). They will inform you that you will need to bring the consent form and vaccination card for your next appointment of second dose.  

 



Remember to take and keep your vaccination card

Step 9

Sit down at the observation area. By now, you should feel a bit of a sore arm. Once time is up (stated on your vaccination card), you can leave.

 



Step 10

Take a nice picture, “Saya telah divaksinasi” before you leave and put hashtags #cucukmyaz when you post it on social media.  

 



Step 11

Buy food and drinks if you want after you exit the main hall. 


Exit the way you came in. Pay for your parking ticket at the counter. Mine was RM5.00.

Remember to bring:

(a) a pen ( you may not want to share a pen with someone else); and

(b) a jacket or cardigan (in case the hall is too cold for you). 


Sayonara and Bye Bye. Till next time…..second dose of vaccination.
