DoctorOnCall, Malaysia’s first and largest digital health platform today announced its partnership with Qualitas Medical Group to form a collaborative alliance to extend COVID-19 vaccination to the population who are yet to receive it, including foreign nationals and adolescents over the age of 12.
Facilitated by experienced medical professionals at DoctorOnCall, the process comprises prompt reminders and follow-up services to ensure a smooth experience for patrons. The programme is aligned with the national vaccination policy and plan, wherein recipients’ MySejahtera is updated with their vaccine status post-inoculation.
“DoctorOnCall has always been centre stage in supporting the effort in filling the gaps to ensure Malaysians and its residents are vaccinated against COVID-19.
“This partnership is a private effort in ensuring that we are a fully vaccinated nation. We strongly believe that there is a need for people to have autonomy over choosing their preferred vaccine, a need that is set to be met by private vaccine programmes,” said Maran Virumandi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of DoctorOnCall.
The initiative is designed to provide swift, simple, and safe online bookings for both doses of the Sinovac vaccination that will be administered at 77 Qualitas clinics across the nation (KL, Selangor, Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Pahang, and Penang).
This arrangement allows convenient access to vaccination, with booking slots at Qualitas clinics available from 9 am to 6 pm. It also provides a wider window of opportunity for individuals who may have missed or haven’t received their MySejahtera vaccine appointment yet. This is also the first private vaccination programme powered by an online booking that provides Sinovac vaccine boosters.
In an effort to be part of the solution in managing the spread of COVID-19, Qualitas is providing free booster vaccination shots with Pfizer (government-supplied doses) and paid Sinovac booster vaccinations at RM99 per shot starting from 1 December 2021.
