PETALING JAYA: The sudden appearance of a ‘Covid-19 vaccination’ feature in the MySejahtera app has raised queries as to whether the public can now register to receive free vaccine jabs. Sabahan Dymphna Lanjuran, 38, said she and a group of friends were informed that registration for the vaccine via the MySejahtera app had started. “After checking our smartphones, I was the only one with the additional feature in the MySejahtera app, ” she said when contacted. A Communications and Multimedia Ministry spokesman said registration for the vaccine had started but smartphone users needed to update the MySejahtera app for the new feature. Besides the MySejahtera app, the public can also register through the soon-to-launched hotline, www.vaksincovid.gov.my website, outreach programmes at rural and interior areas, and at public and private healthcare facilities.
