SOPs at mega PPVs to be tightened to reduce infection risks - Khairy

National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said apart from scheduling an appointment time and implementing physical distancing, time spent at the vaccination centres would be cut short by speeding up the vaccination process for each recipient, which is done by introducing the digital consent form on the MySejahtera application.

He said with the new feature on the mobile application vaccine recipients no longer had to fill out forms manually, thus helping to streamline the vaccination process, save time and reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

"In the Klang Valley, with the current sporadic cases, it is difficult to say that certain places such as the PPVs is the cause of infection and I am looking at this issue to ensure that the SOPs at mega PPVs can be tightened and improved every day," he said, adding that by implementing such approaches the vaccination process has been accelerated.
