JB council denies issuing statement on 'special TMJ quota' vaccine registration

 

The Johor Bahru City Council has never issued any statement or registration forms for the Pfizer vaccine under a certain party’s quota as shared on social media recently.

In a statement yesterday, the council said the message informing the public that they can fill in a "Pfizer vaccine for TMJ quota" registration form is fake, and the form in question is actually a vaccine registration form used by the Southern Volunteers Johor Bahru secretariat.

"The form is intended to help residents of this city who have not yet registered for the vaccination, either through the MySejahtera application or the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) website.

"For everyone’s information, Southern Volunteers Johor Bahru also uses the JKJAV website platform to check and register the public who have not registered for the vaccine," read the statement.

The city council also denied claims that the vaccine registration through the Southern Volunteers form is given priority over self-registration via MySejahtera or JKJAV website.

As such, residents were reminded to always check and refer to the official channels for information regarding the Covid-19 vaccine, either through the website and social media of the Health Ministry, JKJAV, National Security Council, Southern Volunteers or the city council.
