KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — The second round of the opt-in AstraZeneca vaccination program was met with several hiccups within seconds of its going “live” at noon today.

After about 30 minutes of anxious waiting, it righted itself and now applications are proceeding smoothly.

According to applicants, they said they were unable to select their respective state for the designated vaccination centres earlier.

This was probably due to a technical glitch preventing people from submitting their full applications.

Social media was rife with shared complaints of frustrated efforts to get the vaccine which is on a parallel track but not part of the main national vaccination programme.

 

Berapa banyak kali nak kena refresh jadi boleh tekan negeri untuk registration vaccination ni? Pantek harem lah. Memang kerajaan ni takde satu benda pun yang efficient ke? Geram pulak aku.

Am I the only one who can’t register for Astra Zeneca for my Tok Mi because you can’t select state? Yey. @Khairykj. @DrAdhamBaba. @DGHisham. Will keep on trying!
