National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin said that a technical committee comprising of health and science experts set up under the COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV) is reviewing the matter before it can be presented to the National Security Council (MKN). 

According to The Sun Daily, he said that the committee would consider data obtained from other countries and study the matter from a clinical aspect to determine the privilege and freedom that can be granted to those who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. 

He also said that those who have completed the COVID-19 vaccination will have a yellow profile on their MySejahtera application which acts as a vaccine passport that will allow them a certain degree of freedom to do things that were previously not permitted.

The government will also be negotiating with other countries, including Singapore, for mutual recognition of the vaccine passport. 

However, he advised Malaysians to continue to adhere to the SOPs set by the government to contain the spread of COVID-19 even if they are fully vaccinated.
