Vaccine Donations by External Parties: CITF also welcomes any efforts from any party that would like to help PICK by donating a supply of vaccine doses to PICK or states, provided the vaccine that will be donated has received NPRA approval.
Time Interval between Vaccine Doses: CITF and COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Access Committee (JKJAV) take note of suggestions and considerations from Singapore and other countries to lengthen the interval the time between two doses of COVID-19 vaccine in their vaccination program.
Attendance at the Vaccination Center (PPV): CITF would like to advise the public to first check the own-risk status of COVID-19 in the MySejahtera app before coming to PPV to get vaccinated.
