COMMON side effect of vaccination in MEN. A new phenomenon has recently been observed in MEN after Covid-19 vax.
INSTANT BIGGER TONED BICEPS and HAPPIER a(MEN). HURRAH!
Also an urge to exhibit this unusual phenomenon.
Malaysians have accepted the pandemic as real and not a hoax. We have few anti-vaxxers, only people with vaccine-hesitancy due to misinformation. 
As many new Covid-19 clusters are identified, strict SOPs have been enforced. Exit and entry points were sealed with barbed wires.
Kampung Segambut was placed under enhanced movement control order to 9.7. Only one person per household is allowed out for necessities.
However, free rice, eggs vegetables and chicken were delivered to the 300 affected households. 
Our daily new positive cases have hit above 7000. 😱 NOT GOOD 😰 ! 
Our National Immunisation 💉 Programme (NIP) which started in March has already achieved its target. On the 15th of June, we were 215,000 shots ahead of schedule with the setting up of
mega centres to deliver 3000 jabs daily in safe environments. Total number of vaccines given have reached past seven million on 25.6. We hope to reach 200,000 jabs per day. Hmm, can we achieve this insurmountable task given the Orang Asli or indigenous population 
make up 14% of our population? Many still live in communities far away from the city. They are NOT FORGOTTEN. Hours travelling in 4WD on bumpy dirt
roads, then onto wooden boats, treks up hills, and pharmacists delivered the Sinovac vaccines in ice packs. Volunteers sweated in personal protective suits in our 30 C temperatures as they cross jetties into boats
to ensure the precious cargo reached a water village in Labuan island.
Thiam Kah Kit with the Mobile Immunisation Team Covid-19 Outreach Programme to vaccinate villages along the Kinabatangan River. He is escorted by the Eastern Sabah Security Command.
Outdoor vaccinations? Yes, if necessary. In remote highland villages of the Sonsogon hinterland, Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili (my Uni. mate) launched outreach programmes. Good on you, Max.
No one is left out. Being 82 years, wheelchair-bound and living across the Sibu River from the clinic does not mean Najah Ahmad is forgotten.
Everyone who wants a shot gets a shot.
"I have been vaccinated," says these 66 and 68 year old ladies. With co-morbidities of diabetics, cataracts, frailness, blurred vision, and hearing problems.
Pregnant and nursing mothers have been given priority in the NIP.
For Malaysia to achieve 60% of vaccinated population by September, the younger generation have stepped forward to assist. Sunway Uni nursing student Lee Yen Xin and my friend Prof. Ilina responded.
Some moan that vaccination centres have turned into carnivals.
I say, "What's wrong? Nothing in history has prepared us for this enemy we cannot see." "I have been vaccinated booths" attest that we are moving towards a hopeful solution. Jedi Knights and stormtroopers remind us that the Force is with Malaysia.
Covid-19 is ONLY a temporary set-back.

Malaysians are not a recalcitrant society. We understand that the vaccines have not gone through long-term studies, there are risks. But, if the only solution to retard or
end this scourge is through vaccination, then my friends and I WILL DO OUR PART.
PROTECT YOURSELF. PROTECT ALL.
#KITA JAGA KITA
MALAYSIANS HELPING MALAYSIANS.
Maybe there is a disadvantage of being vaccinated?
Also an urge to exhibit this unusual phenomenon.

end this scourge is through vaccination,
Hopefully vaccine can reach out semua orang, so this pandemi can be over :(. I'm quite happy that vaccine certificate Will be used as one of requirements before traveling using train and plane in indonesia. As you know, so many anti vaccs here, and those Morons dont believe with covid :(. Sad but it's true. Sometimes I think govt must be stricter when Coping with those unbelievers of covid.
ReplyDeleteI Miss visiting Malaysia :). Before pandemic I used to coming back to KL or Penang, since I studied there for 4 years :). Miss my malaysian friends a lot... :(
Your country is managing its vaccination process MUCH better than ours. The last statistics I saw said that only 8% of us are fully vaccinated. Not good enough. I have my second shot tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat, you will be well protected. Vaccination does not mean we won't get infected in furtur, but at least our symptoms will be less severe.
DeleteThis is incredibly interesting, thank you for sharing. Our countries are so different but we do have many anti-vaxers, some as close as my siblings, daughter and nieces. We all have to choose even if our main reason to get the jab was so we could travel across the Canadian/United States border. Still waiting for our second shot. Your post was uplifting and I hope things continue to move quickly for your country.
ReplyDeleteIn our province, Ontario, we are at 78% vaccinated which has helped us to move slowly out of the lockdown. Bit by bit, we are anxious.
Delete78% is really impressive patsy, Ontario should reach herd immunity soon.
DeleteI'm sorry to say most people in my area didn't take the covid seriusly and didn't wear mask or been vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
I am pleased that Malaysians followed lockdown procedures. With new cases reaching 6000 plus yesterday, we have to be careful.
DeleteVery interesting. Doctors are very dedicated to travel so far to vaccinate people.
ReplyDeleteI felt sad that you lost your brother-in-law.
Yes Linda, I admire the pharmacists and doctors who travel to remote areas to ensure the indigenous population are vax.
DeleteThe awareness of the importance of vaccines has improved a lot in Indian, and many centers have people standing in queue for long-distance to take vaccines despite the insufficiency. When there was stock, people hesitated to take the vaccine, and when they realize it, the government wasn't productive. I took 1st dose in May, and 2nd dose is scheduled for August 27 for which, my doctor suggested I take blood thinner for 10 days from the day of the vaccine. Perhaps he could have some doubts and doesn't want to take a risk. I glad people work with responsible there, and the arrangement also seems satisfactory and safe. Comparing India with your country won't be fair as we being the second populated country in the world, we may take a year or more to complete.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Jeevan that we should not compare between countries. Msia is always compared with Singapore and thus we are labelled as inefficient etc. but people fail to see that differences in population size, rural or remote communities and size of the country affect how fast vaccination programmes take off. It is very commendable that your doctor takes much care and offers good advice and treatment for you. This is so important for peace of mind. Stay well.
