After receiving the vaccination, all recipients must maintain a two-week quarantine period until further notice.

Vaccinating people is the best way to protect them from the virus and prevent its spread.” The state Health Department is also encouraging people to register in advance for the vaccine and booster doses. Pre-registration will ensure quick and efficient access to the vaccine.

The Selangor government is committed to ensuring the well-being of its residents and will continue to support them throughout this pandemic. Through initiatives such as this free public COVID-19 vaccine and booster doses program, the ultimately goal of helping the state combat and overcome the virus is placed front and center.

As the importance of vaccination becomes more apparent, the Selangor government is taking proactive steps to protect its citizens.
