Netizens fed up as MySejahtera shows their elders not eligible for Phase 2 shots
A netizen is now feeling very frustrated because the MySejahtera system indicated that his 63-year-old aunt was not eligible for the ongoing national vaccination exercise, which aims to inoculate millions of elderly people aged 60 and above.
Twitter user @kopihigh said the government cannot blame the rakyat for the low vaccination rate as many anxious elderly and disabled persons have been waiting for their turn months after having registered themselves as vaccine recipients in the mobile app.
"My aunt in Melaka is a 63-year-old and already registered since Feb 24. MySejahtera profile all updated yet still no call for appointment until now. Reached helpdesk and was told that she is not eligible for Phase 2?" she tweeted yesterday.
"You cannot be proud of your vax rates yet if there are still many anxious elderly and disabled persons out there waiting for their vax with almost absolute uncertainty for months. You cannot be proud yet when there are states that are still far left behind just because of your own poor execution plan."
"Don't you dare shift the blame to the rakyat. We are the receiving end, and it’s your responsibility to ensure the vaccines are distributed fairly and efficiently to all. Lack of vaccination centres or supply issues are not our problem to think about,.
"I'm so mad it took an angry public tweet for your side to start communicating. Why do we always result to this? Imagine how many other old folks out there with no access to smartphones let alone social media that might still in the dark with the vax program?" the Twitter user @kopihigh added.
Malaysiakini contacted the Special Committee Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) for comment.
In its reply, MySejahtera said the matter has been dealt with.
"We have updated your IC record and your request is now being evaluated by the Covid-19 Immunization Task Force (CITF). We will continue to monitor your application to ensure that an appointment can be allocated to you soon," MySejahtera tweeted in response.
However, a check on social media showed that others several other netizens also faced a similar problem as @kopihigh’s aunt.
Netizen Alena said her parents were told they were not eligible for Phase 2 of the National Immunisation Programme (NIP).
"I tried this too for my parents (aged 65 and 63) and clicked on "no it doesn't work". They sent me an email and said my parents were not eligible for Phase 2 instead," tweeted Alena.
Phase 2 of NIP, which commenced in mid-April, aims to vaccinate 9.4 million people aged 60 and above, those with underlying health conditions and people with disabilities.
Putrajaya aims to achieve herd immunity by the end of the year at the earliest by inoculating 80 percent of the national population, or 26.7 million people.
Early last month, the government estimated a delay in the implementation of Phase 3 of NIP due to a vaccine supply issue. Phase 3 will involve the adult population above 18 and precedence will be given to those at the red and yellow zones.
On June 12, the government announced Phase 4 of the NIP, an on-site vaccination exercise at designated factories and industrial locations. - Mkini
