As the government has began rolling out the vaccine in a high speed manner, I am glad that my parents, my relatives and friends’ parents have been receiving the vaccine. My mom received her first dose of Sinovac on 17th May 2021 and the second dose on 7 June 2021. My dad has received his first dose on 31 May 2021 and will be taking his second dose later this month. Dad got the Pfizer vaccine.
My mom took her first dose at Desa Tasik Community Hall and that place was quite chaotic and not suitable for big crowd. Parking was difficult too. Well, I am glad that the government took note of the difficulties faced by people who go to the vaccination centers that are located in the community centers or hall. They have combined 2 vaccination centers (Desa Tasik and Muhibbah) to Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil. As such my mom’s second dose was at Axiata Arena. This venue used to host many mega concerts so you can imagine how big the size is. Mom and I were so impressed with the efficiency of this vaccination center. There were many personnel around to help those who came for the vaccination. Everything was in order and from the time we entered the building to mom taking the jab took 15 minutes. There was no crowd when we were there in the afternoon. Actually I was worried about the crowd as yesterday was the first day they started operation in Axiata Arena. So all was good. Mom is fully vaccinated now.

Dad took his at Sunway Convention Center and his appointment was at 9.30am. Everything went well that morning and it took him about 1 hour plus to get vaccinated. Hubs took him to Sunway Convention Center. It was reported in the papers that the following days were quite chaotic at Sunway Convention Center. That place was packed and people were standing in line from the carpark to the vaccination area. I believe this was due to people arriving too early for their vaccination time. All is well now at Sunway Convention too as they have more staff manning the crowd.
