As we roll out our PICK Booster programme, some have asked about the policy of mixing vaccines. Many countries are giving these heterologous booster shots. Our expert committee under @drkalai61 has recommended to @JKJAVMY to proceed with the heterologous vaccinations.
For Pfizer recipients you will be recommended a homologous booster i.e. a Pfizer 3rd dose after 6 months of your 2nd dose. For Sinovac recipients, you will be recommended a Pfizer booster 3 months after your 2nd dose. We are now starting with frontliners and older folks.
Just to reassure everyone about the heterologous booster, I was a Sinovac recipient. Before I left for my WHO meeting I had a Pfizer booster. So I’m now #TeamSSP! All safe, all good. #LindungDiriLindungSemua 
We will be announcing further details soon for AZ recipients to receive their booster and also for other choices for booster shots e.g. people with allergies and cannot take the mRNA may be offered Sinovac or AZ for their booster.
You will not need to apply, when you are eligible based on the recommended time interval, you will get an appointment notification on MySj to go to a GP/govt clinic or hospital for your booster shot.
People have asked about vaccination status re boosters. You are considered fully vaccinated if you’ve completed your primary series (2 doses Pfizer/Sinovac/AZ, 1 dose CanSino). A booster is not necessary for you to be considered fully vaccinated, for now. But highly recommended.
