Appointments for the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine went live today (Sunday, 2nd May). Last Wednesday (28th April), the government announced that the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine will be offered to the public in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on a voluntarily “first come, first serve” basis.
There were concerns about AstraZeneca where several receivers reported cases of blood clotting. As such, all 268,800 vaccine doses would be designated to vaccination centres (PPV) instead of the mainstream National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

The 4 locations available are:
- World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL)
- Ideal Convention Centre Shah Alam (IDCC)
- Dewan 1, Bangunan Peperiksaan, Universiti Malaya (UM)
- Dewan Gemilang, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
Since Khairy Jamaluddin’s recent tweet, all appointments made at UM have been fully snapped up. At the time of writing, there were still slots left at the other 3 venues. Volunteers who have successfully registered through the website, will receive a notification of their vaccination appointment on MySejahtera or via text message.
There was a staging link that was being tested earlier. Bookings before 1200hrs are NOT recorded. Only bookings after 1200hrs are recorded. https://t.co/j4AKHpL6PB

However, do keep in mind that only bookings made after 12pm today are recognised.
Update:
All AZ slots are fully booked. My apologies for the initial glitch and multiple refreshes 🙏🏾. You can still click on the grey boxes to put yourself on a wait list for next couple of hours. We will start pushing appts to your MySj or sms soon. pic.twitter.com/aBKwCsIRUu

We have closed the AZ wait list. There are more AZ vaccines scheduled for delivery. We will prioritise those on the wait list when the new shipment arrives.
