Individuals who cannot be given the COVID-19 vaccine due to medical-related factors can apply for a special digital certificate or vaccine exemption on MySejahtera through the District Health Office (PKD), said Health Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin. 

However, they would have to get verification on their condition from registered medical practitioners. 

According to Astro AWANI, Khairy said that they would also be required to go to the district health office and submit a special form, which is an assessment slip on suitability of receiving COVID-19 vaccine for patients with certain health problems, which had been verified by the medical specialist. 

“The digital certificate through MySejahtera will be obtained within a week if the application submitted is complete and meets the stipulated conditions,” he said.

Meanwhile, Khairy added for those who have been fully vaccinated but do not have a device to show their digital certificate, can use the vaccination card that was issued to them at the vaccination centre (PPV). 

If the card is lost or missing, they should lodge a report at the district health office.

Have you gotten yourself vaccinated yet?
