UPDATE: 2nd Jab / 7 JUL, 2 PM

yay took my 2nd AZ jab at PWTC just now.

Please note the police will only allow us to enter PWTC 30 min prior to appointment time stated in MySejahtera. Not sure if they still allow family with same date different timing to masuk sekali or not.

I do noticed many ppl standing and wait by the main road.

Please bring umbrella if its rainy/cloudy especially if you park at Basement/outdoor.
Coz you need to walk all the way from car park, thru the car park entrance itself, and walk to PWTC main gate. All elevators / lobby entrance in car park are closed.

Appointment 2 pm, sampai 1.30 pm, no queue terus masuk and cucuk around 1.35 pm, habis observation and left at 1.50 pm.

Total took 20 minutes saja. My station looks quite empty and can see the volunteers are kinda relax and free jer.

Will update if any side-effect arises.

UPDATE: 2-JUL 12.35am

- I gotten my 2nd dose appointment on 7th July liao, unlike the 1st dose MySejahtera this time tak ada pop up notification.
Sesiapa yang sudah cucuk your AZ once sila semak MySejahtera. Sekian.
- After cucuk my 2nd dose, I will resume to update my status here in this first post.

******************************************************************************************************************************************
Hey guys! So I have taken my first dose of AZ vaccine at PWTC noon just now.
Male, 27 yo, Chinese, healthy with no hospital admission record.
No medication, no allergies.

Note:
1) It seems PWTC allow whole family to take the vaccine in same slot even if they gotten different time/date slot, remember to check with the staffs there. My gf family tried and it is allowed.
2) Anybody received COVID vaccine must wait for 7 days before being allowed to donate blood, called Pusat Darah Negara and they confirmed this.
- If have any symptoms, must wait 14 days instead.

Summary:
1) Smooth vaccination process, overall takes 30 minutes for queue and consultation, 10 seconds to jab, then another 15-20 minutes for observation. The staffs and volunteers there very nice and helpful too, no shouting no garang no bad attitude.
In total, took 50 minutes to settle everything.
Oh ya if possible bring your own pen, coz need to fill and sign consent forms there. Or you can just borrow from staff / fellow vaccine receiver nearby. I don't see the pens being sanitized la, maybe they do it periodically only.
Aircond a bit strong, wear jacket if you are takut sejuk kind. Dont wear long sleeve shirt though otherwise susah to jab your arm.

2) Better take grab there, passed by the parking lot and it looked super full. Not sure about the parking at Sunway Putra Mall though.
I went there for lunch after my jab, the mall itself looks not crowded. No Raya decoration and feel too...

3) There will be a 1 to 1 consultation with doctor before the jab, can prepare your questions and concerns then consult them.

Questions asked quite standard la:
- Any illness or not
- Taking any medication or not
- Any allergy or not
- Any severe symptom from past vaccination or not
- Pregnant or breastfeeding or not

4) Dont worry the jab not painful, and really very fast. Saw the expiry date of the vaccine of my batch is 30th June though.
Wonder if the vaccine is near expiry, will it be less effective?

5) Symptom wise, it's been 3 hours already - other than a bit soreness, no scar no swollen yet.

6) Next jab should be 12 weeks later, so I guess next jab is around final week of July.

7) Adverse Event Following Immunisation (AEFI), please report via the MySejahtera App or contact the nearest clinic/hospital immediately for medical assistance.

-Faint or light-headed
-Changes in heartbeat
-Shortness of breath /wheezing
-swelling of lips, face or throat
-hives or rash
-nausea or vomiting
-stomach pain

Though during pre-vaccination consultation, the doctor said can try over-the-counter medication first, if the condition not improving, only then go to hospital.

Will update here in case I developed new symptoms lol.

Not rejected stock la, just that it took longer time on the flight to Malaysia... kut
#bersangkabaik

hahaha no prob la, trolling kan budaya /k

Morning guys! It's Day 2 morning and my arm actually feels slightly stiffer after waking up. Other than that, no other symptoms whatsoever.

Important: Never cucuk your dominant arm, and those work in factory setting etc that requires manual operations on heavy machinery, please be mindful.

Urgent update: KKM has also just sent me notification 7 am just now saying my 2nd dose has been scheduled on 2nd June.

The thing is, according to Malaysiakini: "It found that the efficacy is 55.1 percent when the doses were administered less than six weeks apart, but this improves with increasing intervals up to 81.3 percent when administered 12 or more weeks apart." SOS 1

And Nature, a very reputable science journal: "The interim results from AstraZeneca do not add more clarity on how to optimize dosing, because all participants were given two doses four weeks apart. Falsey says that a longer gap would probably induce a stronger immune response, but a briefer interval is more practical in the middle of a pandemic. The WHO recommends an interval of 8 to 12 weeks." SOS 2

So, I don't understand why KKM is pushing for such short interval, the efficacy could have dropped to 50 percent lol.
A herd of ppl with 50 percent vs another herd of ppl 80 percent efficacy, that's like grade D vs grade A in exams.
Unless KKM plans to introduce booster vaccines a few months later?

By right, since we have taken the first dose, the COVID virus is less deadly and less likely to spread through us already.
Why not wait longer for better efficacy? Do it properly once and for all la.

Please check with your friends/family that have already taken 1st jab and see if they have received 2nd jab appointment in early Jun too?

Oh good idea, let me put it up on my first post too.
Male, 27 yo, Chinese, healthy with no hospital admission record.
No medication, no allergies.

Ya, but in the long run the gomen should aim for maximum efficacy ma.
30% efficacy difference is huge o, gonna call their hotline later to get more info

yess, other than sore and stiff arm, no fever whatsoever yet

Ohh, ya I'm kinda prepared for getting fever - stocked some dry foods already haha.
Mind if I ask your sisters gotten their 2nd dose in what interval? 8 weeks apart or 12 weeks?

Calling Vaccine Hotline number at 1800-888-828, 29th in the queue lol.
Update u guys later!

Wow the hotline seriously occupied, while queuing, kena kick off and now cant call back... Will try calling them again...

Lol didn't know vaccine also can do clearance before closing shop, though KKM did said those missed the appointment will be queues at the back of the line.
Maybe they already carry the vaccines and since not taken and dont want to waste it/transport balik, they just cucuk whoever at the scene.

Yes possible also, that means we could be taking the same batch of vaccine twice in a row.

cant find back the article but it's until 9 pm daily if not mistaken

Hey guys, I think it was a glitch after all, refreshed MySejahtera around 11.30 and 2nd dose appointment in June is gone.


Ya leh, that's why shocked when my next dose showed 2nd June, but it has been removed now.

Received it on 6.45 am hahaha, but it seems to be a glitch - 2nd dose appointment removed liao.

Hmm, quite possible. It reflected my 1st dose already completed in MySejahtera app.
But when I checked on https://www.vaksincovid.gov.my/semak-status/ , the status is still TELAH DIJADUAL.

You should be there at least 20 minutes prior to your appointment, which means 9.40 am.

Go also no use, the staffs there will only ask ppl to line up 20 min prior.
Process kinda like:
-20 min prior, staffs start calling ppl to line up
-then masuk and sit at designated waiting area
-go in for temp screening and can MySejahtera for attendance
-sit in a hall for a while, then move to corridor to fill up consent forms
-proceed to consultation, then jab
-finally, stay at observation area for around 20 min, get your vaccination card, then can balik

Overall settle in less than 1 hour jer.

yup, thats what the doctor told me during consultation session too, latest latest by 30 Jul

Sure pretty la, but vaccination booths are split by gender, so most female nurses are in the female area
But the jab itself very fast la, you will only see your nurse for less than 3 seconds to verify name, then he/she will cucuk your arm beside u
So actual face-to-face moment, maybe around 5 seconds jer if add on 2 seconds of sating thank you lol

Very thin jer, compared to the big ass needle used during blood donation, its like kena bit by ant.

u mean yesterday? no la i wear tshirt and shorts and slipper jer

so far no headache yet, how's your headache? got pening pening?

no not me haha, mine different timing

Ya Day 3 and still doing fine haha!
Yesterday evening terkena some rain and feel a bit feverish, but measured my temp and it was normal.

No more feverish after waking up today, arm still stiff and sore though
