Vaccine Administration

There were instances of Covid19 outbreaks at mega PPVs (such as IDCC and Setia City CC), be extra careful in following social distancing measures. Human contacts and time spent in the centre should be reduced as much as possible.

Ways to reduce human contact and time spent in PPV – Except for high-risk individuals:

*Paper-work, doctor assessment are not required in many countries. For instance in Hong Kong, you show ID, the same nurse updates info on computer then jabs, no form-filling.

*In the UK, 15-min observation period is recommended following administration of BioNTech vaccine but no observation requirement for AstraZeneca (gov.uk – Jul 2021). Drive-throughs are great.
