University of Malaya's Astra Zeneca vaccination center at the Examination Building has a capacity of 1,000 vaccinations a day. Chose this venue because of the proximity, ease of parking, and relatively low capacity. We left the house at 8:30 AM, and arrived at the KL Gate of the university before 9:00 AM. Traffic was extremely smooth as most people were working from home. The security guard let us in after checking the appointment date on the MySejahtera app. The security guards checked the appointment date a second time before allowing us into the parking lot. It was just a short walk to the building. I was surprised to see so many people loitering outside the building. Were they too early for their appointments? We joined the line to enter the vaccination center. At the entrance, the RELA stopped me from going. Turns out that they don't allow anyone to accompany unless absolutely necessary. Hence the reason there were so many people outside. Anyway, they had sufficient staff inside to help mum to with the consent form, so all was good. She was done within half an hour really. I just waited for her at the exit. Many worried children were crowding there (not good) to catch a glimpse. Mum took the customary post-vaccination shots, and then I brought her for a photo op at the university's famous landmark-- Dewan Tunku Canselor, and the UM coat of arms. UM, see you again during the second jab!
