Client Flow Chart

Firstly, they would go to the triage station at the PPV to check in. Secondly, they will listen to
the briefing in form of pre-recorded video with slides about the vaccination process. Next,
they will go to the vaccine consent station where the medical officers and pharmacists will
take consent from the vaccine recipients. Then, they will go to myVAS registration station,
followed by the vaccination station. Next, they will go to the observation area where they will
be observed for 15 to 30 minutes. After that, our staff will issue a vaccine card. For those
who received their second dose, they will receive a digital vaccine certificate in MySejahtera
app.

Set Up Mass Vaccination

Now, I will share our experience on how we set up a mass vaccination in the phase I roll out
of COVID-19 vaccination. During this phase, we have vaccinated range from 500 to nearly
1000 per day in our mass vaccination.

Manpower: Mobilization of Staff

For the mass vaccination, we need to have sufficient manpower to implement it. In order to
do so, we have to mobilize staff from clinics or other departments. We received help from the
district health office as well as from the dental division. For instance, dental officers helped in
data entry in MyVAS system while the dental assistants helped in filling up the details on the
vaccine cards. Other staff are needed to usher the vaccine recipients to follow the process.
They would also help in data management.

Logistic

As for logistic purpose, we felt that having one hall in one floor is easier compared to having
a location that has several floors with no lifts or elevators. This is because it will be quite
difficult to transfer vaccine recipients to a clinic or hospital if they developed serious side
effects that need further intervention in the clinic or hospital.
