Today vaccination for teens was launched. Vaccination commenced in selected schools and PPVs starting with teens aged 16 & 17. 

From our experience, one parent was allowed to accompany the teen but only up to a certain point. Parents will be required to submit a completed and signed consent form in duplicate. A vaccine info sheet is also given to all parents on the vaccine being offered. Currently the vaccine to be administered is Pfizer in 2 doses. 

Items required on vaccination day:

parents IC, student's IC, consent form in duplicate,pen and phone (either students or parents, depending on whose phone was used to register the teen under MySejahtera)

Consent form to be completed in duplicate.

Vaccine Information for parents


Vaccination may be done at schools with 1000 students or grouped together for schools with fewer students. For example, vaccination of students in Petaling Utama district are conducted at the Chancellor Hall, MSU (Management & Science University) University Drive, Off Persiaran Olahraga, 40100 Shah Alam, Selangor. Each school is given a selected time and coordinating teachers from the school will be present

For those who are heading to MSU for vaccination, here's a rough guide on how to get there from the federal highway. Note that vaccination for some schools will be at different PPV other than the one shown in this post but the procedure should be more or less the same.

1.  Traffic can be heavy so plan your time. Students may be required to arrive 30 minutes before their scheduled time for vaccination. 



2. Continue straight. As usual this turnoff to ICON City/Sunway towards LDP bridge often has heavy traffic flow



3. Get ready to exit the highway when you see these signages.



4. Exit the highway and turn right here



5. Go straight



6. Turn left here, then go straight and turn left at the next t-junction




7. You have arrived at your destination.  MSU, Management & Science University
 

8. Signage to the carpark is clearly shown



During the launching of PICK-Remaja today, health minister YB Khairy Jamaluddin mentioned that kids and teenagers will be able to do walk vaccination for Pfizer vaccine at selected PPVs to be announced tomorrow. This is an option for those who prefer not to wait for their school vaccination programme.


Watch the launching of PICK-Remaja by the ministers of health and education below. It was announced that as at 16 September 2021, about 85,000 teenagers have received their first dose without any serious side effects. The government aims to get 60% of eligible teens between 12 to 17 years old jabbed with at least one dose by November whereby 80% will be fully vaccinated by early next year when the new school term begins.
