As announced by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia has reduced the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot interval from 6 to 3 months for most vaccine types. The 3-month interval for boosters is applicable to adults (18 years old and above) who were fully vaccinated with Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, Moderna, Sinopharm and CanSino Bio.
By default, there’s no need to register for the booster shot and appointments will be pushed out automatically via MySejahtera. With the recent announcement, most adults who were fully vaccinated before September 2021, would be due for a booster shot. The MySejahtera appointments are sent out with priority given to senior citizens as well as individuals with comorbidities.

For individuals fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca, you are permitted to get AstraZeneca as an alternative while Sinovac recipients are also permitted to get Sinovac as the alternative. However, do note that the availability of alternative vaccines for boosters is subject to availability and you can contact the vaccination center in advance to enquire. At the moment, Sinovac boosters are prioritised for individuals who can’t take Pfizer vaccines due to allergies or health reasons.
