There is no shortcut to get a vaccination appointment date.

The Health Ministry made this clarification, after a viral message claimed that you can get an appointment date sooner by using the vaccine helpdesk function on the MySejahtera app.

The Ministry says this is fake news, and cautioned people against flooding the helpdesk for this purpose, as it will slow down efforts to deal with legitimate queries.

It adds that all vaccine appointments are given out automatically, in stages.
