Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020, the virus has claimed close to 3 million lives worldwide, with 137 million confirmed cases as at April 2021. A year of wearing masks and avoiding crowded areas has not been able to stop the pandemic – hence the vaccine is the anticipated game changer. While more than 733 million vaccines doses have been administrated worldwide, vaccine hesitancy among Malaysians is still high: What is the extent of the vaccine protection we can expect? What about the emerging risks? Do the risks outweigh the benefits?

With Phase 2 (for senior citizens and high-risk groups) of our national immunisation programme in full swing and Phase 3 (for all adults) starting, our expert speakers from the Sunway Medical Centre are on hand to provide timely insights on the following topics:


  • Safety and Efficacy of The Vaccine
  • Contraindications
  • Possible Side Effects After Vaccination
  • Immunity to Covid-19 After Vaccination
  • Protection from New Variants of Covid-19
  • Care for Vulnerable Groups – Senior Citizens, Pregnant Women etc.
