I REFER to the letter “What happened to priority for senior citizens?” (The Star, June 26). I must say that I, also a senior citizen, am fortunate to have received my two doses of Covid-19 vaccine already, the first on May 27 and second on June 17. Like many senior citizens who registered for the vaccination online, I also waited anxiously for my appointments to be set. By and large, the vaccination rollout has been in line with what was outlined in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, which was launched on Feb 18, 2021. Calling the National Covid-19 vaccination line (1800 888-828) to know the status of their application for vaccination is another frustrating experience for many.
