In a statement, JKJAV emphasised that walk-in vaccinations are strictly for those who are unaccounted for and have not received an appointment after 1 August.

"Examples of those who have not received an appointment are those who do not have identification or travel documents, as described by the coordinating minister of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Program, Khairy Jamaluddin, on 16 July, 2021," read the statement.

JKJAV noted that individuals who have not yet registered but do not have any issues doing so are also encouraged to register for vaccination as soon as possible.

"JKJAV would also like to inform that the PPVs which will operate for walk-in purposes in August will be updated and informed later, whereby the existing PPVs will not necessarily be open for this walk-in initiative," the statement added.

Those who have and will receive their vaccination appointments before 1 August are told to follow the assigned time and place.

According to Malay Mail, the Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister said during a virtual press conference, "We have made the decision that on 1 August, after we settle the Operation Surge Capacity, all PPVs in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor will be walk-in for people to receive their vaccines so we can vaccinate anybody who has not received their first doses, in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor."

He also added that JKJAV expects 1.3 million people to receive their first vaccine dose from now until 25 July, while another 1.3 million people will be receiving their first dose jabs between 26 July and 1 August.
