LADA volunteers’ aid mission in the process of vaccination for Langkawi community continues, this time involving Dewan As-Syifa Vaccination Centre (PPV) in Padang Matsirat. For five days between 7th to 13th July 2021, a few LADA staff were stationed at the PPV to help the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) personnel.
Throughout the period, LADA volunteers had carried out a few crucial tasks, among these include making phone calls to vaccine receiver candidates. A total of 1520 phone calls were made to inform upcoming vaccination appointments, follow up on vaccine receivers who did not answer earlier calls and failed to attend the scheduled appointments, as well as to contact individuals in MOH’s vaccination backup list.
Other than that, the volunteers also helped vaccine receivers to fill up the necessary forms. Logistic support was also provided through transport preparation as well as pick-up and drop-off service for several vaccine receivers. These were particularly provided for those facing difficulties to attend vaccination appointments, such as those without transport and individuals to accompany and provide support during the vaccination process.
In total, 2785 Langkawi residents had successfully received COVID-19 vaccine inoculations in these five days. The vaccines given include first and second doses of Pfizer and Sinovac.
LADA therefore wishes that the support given by the volunteers would help to at least relieve a small part of obligations undertaken by the MOH frontliners in Langkawi during the entire course of National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme. May Langkawi get to achieve full herd immunity in the close future.
