The GoVax Heroes programme is calling for volunteer drivers to assist in providing senior citizens aged 60 years and above and persons with disabilities (PWDs) with free rides to designated vaccination centres in the Petaling district.
Volunteer GoVax Heroes will be assigned to vaccinations scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays so that their work and weekday routines will not be affected. They will be provided with vehicles, courtesy of GoCar. Petrol and parking fees will also be covered by GoCar.
Interested individuals must be between the ages of 18 and 50 with a valid Malaysian driver’s license. Those who wish to volunteer can drop their details here (https://hi.gocar.my/blog/were-looking-for-more-govax-heroes/).
The shout out comes following the increase of vaccination appointments by the Malaysian government and growing demand for the free GoVax shuttle service.
Since the programme commenced on 25 May 2021, the GoVax Heroes have provided free rides to and from vaccination centres for over 300 senior citizens and PWDs. The GoVax Heroes have thus far been volunteers from GoCar Malaysia’s employee pool.
A CSR programme by car-sharing platform GoCar Malaysia, in collaboration with Kampung Tunku state assemblyperson YB Lim Yi Wei, the GoVax shuttle service currently covers Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre, Hospital Shah Alam, Klinik Rakan Medik Petaling Jaya, University Malaysia Medical Centre (UMMC) and Ideal Convention Centre Shah Alam (IDCC).
To book a free GoVax shuttle, contact the 24/7 hotline 1 300-30-2633 or request via the GoCar mobile app.
Bookings must be made at least three days in advance. Drivers are limited and requests will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
Passengers with mobility challenges will need to be accompanied by an experienced caregiver.
The free GoVax shuttle service ends on 31 August 2021.
