It was a breeze for vaccine recipients BERNAMA
PETALING JAYA: For all the hullabaloo over the vaccination process, it turned out to be rather smooth-sailing for those who have received their jabs.
Despite earlier reports of overcrowding at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) and haphazardness at Stadium Titiwangsa, both of which are serving as vaccination centres, those who turned up for their first dose have expressed satisfaction with the experience.
At WTCKL, recipients were given the AstraZeneca vaccine while those who went to Stadium Titiwangsa received the Pfizer vaccine.
Wesports Malaysia head of human resource Ravindran Gunasekaran, 50, who received the first dose at WTCKL on Tuesday, said the staff were very helpful in guiding him through the entire process.
