So it was time for my vaccination at World Trade Centre KL. I decided to make this simple walkthrough just to ease my family members (and myself) for the vaccination process because surprise, surprise, it's an introvert kinda thing. Anyways, let's jump right to it.
Things to bring :
IC (Identification card)
Phone
Powerbank
Pen
My appointment was at 12pm, so I timed it right to reach around 11.45pm. Don't fret if you'll be slightly late; I'll explain it in a bit.

There is a basement carpark but somehow I ended up going down and exited the parking lot without even parking. I guess I missed the entrance somewhere 😓

So once I've walked across to the UMNO tower area, I checked in the MySejahtera app (1st time) and walked down two flights of stairs and ended up near the queue to enter the first waiting area. Thank goodness I used this route instead of the basement car park, because there was this HUGE crowd of people just cramming outside the basement door to the outside. Obviously, not much social distancing there then. The guards were making them form several queues on the outside before bringing the entire queue inside, but I was already chilling inside the building (albeit hobo-ing cluelessly at the side).

There are three queues for the stations (Station 1 being the furthest left to Station 3 on the furthest right). There were guards walking around shouting the appointment times and station numbers. And here's the reason why I said it was fine to be a little late; they were still calling for the 11am - 11.30 am slot when I was there at 12pm. The 12pm slot people were only called around 12.30pm and by then we had already formed a queue of our own. Make sure to ask around and try to follow people in the same slot session and station number.

They will check your station number and appointment slot, so even if you end up going to other stations, you'll be kicked out of queue. You can check this under the "Vaccination" tab in the MySejahtera app. Once inside, I checked in to MySejahtera again (2nd time) before heading up two flights of escalators to yet another queue to enter Dewan Merdeka. Entering the hall means checking in to MySejahtera app for the 3rd time.
Once inside, you have to show them the "Vaccination" page for them to confirm on your station and slot before they hand you a form with your ticket number (3 tickets). You can fill up your form while waiting for your turn, but do NOT sign at the bottom of the page just yet, because it will be done later on. Note that you have to be aware of the number range (e.g. 2801 to 2810) that they shout in front, because the TV displaying the numbers isn't accurate.
Next, you'll enter a smaller waiting area with about 10 chairs or so to get to the consultancy area. Numbers don't play a role here, they just follow whoever sits in the front seat so you have to sit at the back and keep moving chairs to get to the front, much like musical chairs.
The consultation was relatively simple, just gotta hand them your IC and scan the QR code within the "Vaccination" tab (not the regular check-in MySejahtera). It will say you have successfully verified your identification. Then head off to Counter C, the waiting area to get the vaccination. When it's your turn, the PIC will tear off one of the ticket numbers to be handed to the nurse at Counter D, the vaccination area.
The nurse asked me for the name of the vaccination I was taking to verify that I knew I was taking AstraZeneca. Once done, I had to scan another QR code within the "Vaccination" tab to confirm that I have taken the 1st jab. Then off I went, two flights down to the observation centre. I gave my form to one of the counter people, who tore off one of the ticket numbers and handed it back to me. After processing the form, they called my number and handed me a vaccination appointment card and asked me to click the confirmation link in the "Vaccination" tab so that my status for the 1st injection is complete.
And that's pretty much it for the entire process! It took roughly 2 hours for me to settle everything, so do make sure to visit the washroom before entering the queue heh heh 😉
