KUALA LUMPUR: Even if you have tried to register twice for Covid-19 vaccination, your appointment will only be based on the first registration on the MySejahtera application.
Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Khairy Jamaluddin explained this following growing complaints from people over their registration status.
He assured the public that following an update, the application would notify all who had registered for the national Covid-19 vaccination programme and advised them to wait for the notification.
"Wait for the push. Do not register again."
"For those who did and see a later date of registration, rest assured we have records of your first try. Appointments will be given based on the first time you registered."
Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming had also asked if he could wait for an update to the application so he could also register his mother under his father's MySejahtera account as a dependent.
"Yes, YB can wait for the dependents feature. Then we will give your parents an appointment at the same date and time so they can go together," Khairy said.
He also assured a Twitter user, who expressed concern whether her registration for the inoculation of MySejahtera had went through.
"Do not worry. Your first registration is logged in and recorded in the back end. You will get your appointment based on that first registration," said the Rembau MP.
The MySejahtera application was updated with tools for vaccine registration last month.
The National Covid-19 Immunisation Plan kicked off last week with the prime minister and Health director-general's inoculation. Malaysia plans to vaccinate 80 per cent of its population as a safeguard against the life-threatening illness.
