COVID-19 vaccine recipients who suffer serious or prolonged side effects are advised to get treatment at the nearest health facility.

Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today tweeted that immediate treatment against serious vaccination side effects is important to ensure a full report can be obtained for investigation.

He said there are four ways to report adverse effects following immunisation (AEFI).

Those with less serious side effects can submit a report via MySejahtera. Those affected can also lodge a report to the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) by filling up a form printed off the NPRA portal and send it to the agency via email or post.

Those with serious AEFI should submit a report through the medical personnel treating their case via the NPRA portal. – Bernama, February 26, 2022.
