Malaysia : 5 Ways To Register For COVID-19 Vaccine
On 5 January 2020, the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin, announced that COVID-19 vaccination will be voluntary in Malaysia.
He also said that Malaysians will have to (later) register for the COVID-19 vaccine through a “sign-up feature” in the MySejahtera app.
That was expanded on 12 February 2021 to FIVE (5) ways to register for the COVID-19 vaccine plan :
- The MySejahtera app – a future update will introduce a button to register for an appointment.
- The Vaksin COVID website.
- The telephone hotline : 1800-888-828
- Manually at health clinics, hospitals and private clinics
- House-to-house registration at targeted rural areas for senior citizens.

Malaysia COVID-19 Vaccine Plan : Three Phases
The Malaysia COVID-19 vaccine program will kick off on 24 February 2021, with the arrival of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine, and last until February 2022.
Phase 1 : 24 February – April 2021
Phase 1 will involve immunising 500,000 front line workers, divided into two groups :
- Group 1 : public and private healthcare workers
- Group 2 : frontliners providing essential services and national defence (like teachers, the police, civil defence (RELA), firefighters, rescue workers, and the armed forces).
* Originally scheduled to start in first week of March, it was brought forward to 24 February 2021.

Phase 2 : April – August 2021
Phase 2 will focus on immunising 9.4 million high-risk adults, divided into two groups :
- Group 1 : remaining healthcare workers and frontliners (including defence)
- Group 2 : senior citizens 60 years or older, disabled adults, and vulnerable adults with chronic diseases, like heart disease, obesity, diabetes and hypertension
Phase 3 : May 2021 – February 2022
Phase 3 will make the COVID-19 vaccine available to the rest of the population :
- adults 18 years or older
– prioritised from red zones > yellow zones > green zones
This may be the last phase, but it is the most critical phase to build herd immunity that will protect the rest of the population that cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19.
COVID-19 Vaccine : FREE For Citizens + Foreign Residents Who Register
The COVID-19 vaccines will be provided FREE for all Malaysian citizens, as well as foreign residents.
The Malaysian government originally announced that the vaccines would be provided to all Malaysian citizens for FREE.
But on 11 February 2021, they announced that the COVID-19 vaccine would also be provided for FREE to all foreign residents.
