They are hoping that those requiring booster shots will be allowed to just walk into the nearest vaccination centre to their home. “I hope that for the booster shot, those manning MySejahtera will just give us an appointment and let us take it at the nearest vaccination centre,” he said. “Now that the government plans to give us a booster shot, I hope that they will consider our situation as senior citizens and allow us to get vaccinated in Muar,” he said. Another senior known only as Abdullah, 65, said he was given an appointment in Muar when he lived in Kulai. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had earlier announced that Malaysia would be offering a third dose or booster shot to vulnerable groups, including healthcare frontliners and the elderly living with comorbidities, next month.
