Issues

  • After submission, if it shows that you are partially vaccinated, or not all doses are updated, use the same steps as above to resubmit the dose which is missing.
  • Some users failed to get their e-cert updated because they uploaded the overseas vaccination documents without their names, ID number or vaccination details. Make sure that all important information is shown.

What if you are not able to update the MySejahtera App with your overseas vaccination details when you travel

That’s fine. You can show the officers at the Malaysian airport/ International Gateway your Overseas Vaccine Certificate. It would be handier if you printed it out.
