Yesterday was the appointment of my 2nd dose. I have been looking forward to this day for the longest time. 9 weeks exactly. Astra Zenneca vaccine has the longest wait time between doses. Initially it was 12 weeks and now it is shorten to 9 weeks. The waiting period between doses for other vaccines such as Pfizer and Sinovac are about 3 weeks apart.
With the easing of lockdown here in Malaysia and Klang Valley has moved to Phase 2, many places now allow people who taken 2 doses to enter. Restaurants allow dine-in for those who have completed 2 doses, shopping malls are open and followed by cinemas soon and even travelling to Langkawi. My neighbourhood market has opened last week as in the street stalls are allowed to operate but only those who have completed 2 doses (plus 14 days after the vaccination day of the 2nd dose) are allowed to enter. Bummer. I still have to wait another 14 days before I can go.
The state borders are not opened yet so we still cannot travel except to Langkawi next month. However, I don’t think we will be travelling anytime soon because the crowds are scary. The news reported that many people flocked to the beach, waterfall, campsite in Selangor because cross-districts are allowed now. After being locked down for a few months, many people cannot wait to go outdoors. I was scared looking at the photos that went around social media because there was no SOP whatsoever. The people were crowding around at the beach and waterfall. I can’t wait for Ashley to get her vaccination so that we can at least have some normalcy back into our lives.
