No more AstraZeneca opt-in programs

May 27, 2021

People will no longer need to register for opt-in programs, if they want to get the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

The Minister-in-charge of the National Immunisation Program says the vaccine will be reintroduced into the mainstream vaccination plan.

It’s because people are now more accepting of the AstraZeneca jab.

On another note, Khairy Jamaluddin says a new feature will be made available soon on the MySejahtera app to allow recipients to choose their preferred COVID-19 vaccine.
