ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd (ProtectHealth), a wholly owned subsidiary of ProtectHealth Malaysia established under the health ministry, said those going for the walk-in booster jabs need to show their MySejahtera app to prove that they have been fully vaccinated.

It said the walk-in services will start at 2pm on the days the offsite PPVs are in operation.

“Those aged 18 and above (apart from senior citizens) who have yet to get appointments via MySejahtera but wish to get the booster shot can contact and register with the PPVs listed under the www.protecthealth.com.my website,” it said in a statement today.

Offsite PPVs are those operated by private medical practitioners (PPS) and health NGOs outside their private health facilities.

There are now more than 2,000 onsite PPVs, 177 offsite PPVs and 221 outreach PPVs run by PPS and health NGOs under ProtectHealth, with a total capacity of administering more than 300,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine daily.

The statement said that as at Jan 19, a total of 10 million doses of booster jabs had been administered, with 73.8% or 7.3 million doses given at PPS and health NGOs under ProtectHealth.

Yesterday, the health ministry said it would begin Covid-19 vaccination for children aged five to 11 starting this February, as soon as the Pfizer vaccine (for children) supply arrives here on Jan 31.
