Vaccination Period: 19-30 July 2021 (except weekends)

Note: The operating hours to pre-register depend on each hospital.

The target groups are divided into two phases. The first phase (current phase) is for people 60 years old and above and people living with any of the following underlying diseases:

1. Severe Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs)

2. Coronary artery disease (CAD)

3. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) (5th stage)

4. Cerebrovascular disease

5. Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy
