If you’ve gotten your first dose of the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine, the MySejahtera app has begun to provide appointment dates for the second dose of the AZ vaccine!
This comes after coordinating minister for the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK), Khairy Jamaluddin announced that Malaysia will shorten the dosing interval for the AstraZeneca vaccine from 12 weeks to nine weeks.
