Sharifah Zainol Syed Ali, 50, who works in a factory manufacturing tissue paper, said the programme would make it easier for her to make arrangements on the scheduled vaccination date. “I have not received my vaccination date on MySejahtera and I am worried that the date may not fit my working schedule. “As we know, there is a higher percentage of clusters coming from industrial areas, especially in the manufacturing sector. Efforts were already underway from the launch of Pikas to vaccinate employees from the manufacturing sector through 49 designated industry vaccination centres (PPV) established nationwide,” he added.
