The COVID-19 vaccines have arrived and everyone in Malaysia can soon register to get vaccinated starting from 1st March 2021. Among the 5 ways to register, MySejahtera is the easiest way and you can get it done within a few minutes. You can download the app on Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei AppGallery.
The MySejahtera app has been updated (version number 1.0.28) with a new section for vaccine registration. It’s available now for all three platforms – Apple AppStore, Google PlayStore and Huawei AppGallery.
After updating the app, you should find a COVID-19 vaccination button on the home screen of MySejahtera. When you tap on it, you can view and update your profile to ensure that your name, IC or Passport details and phone number is correct.
Once verified, you can proceed to enroll for the vaccination. Take note that Phase 1 which begins tomorrow, 24th February is only for frontliners at the moment. However, you can continue to proceed with the registration process and you’ll be notified when the next phase begins.
To register, you’ll need to answer 4 questions which include your interest to be vaccinated, if you have any comorbidities, whether you’re a registered as a person with disabilities (OKU) and your current home address. The app recommends that you enable notifications so that you can receive alerts on your vaccination status.
