SHAH ALAM – The state government has requested that the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) allow vaccine recipients under the Selangor Vaccine Programme (Selvax) to temporarily use the Selangkah digital jab certificate.

The office of the state Public Health, Unity, Women and Family Development Committee in a statement said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin agreed to bring up the matter during the National Security Council meeting today, and that the state government is still awaiting feedback on the proposal.

“The Public Health Committee chairman (Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud) has requested an explanation from CITF, and was informed that Mimos was having technical difficulties integrating part of Selvax recipients’ data into the MySejahtera system.

“Mimos informed that the process will take time, and it is unsure when the issue will be resolved.”

The move was taken following complaints that there are vaccine recipients under Selvax yet to get their digital certificates in MySejahtera.

“As of yesterday, Selangkah has submitted the records of 159,919 recipients who have completed their vaccination under Selvax to the MySejahtera team,” said the statement.

“According to Selangkah records, 3,632 complaints have been lodged, and we are concerned that the real number is much higher.” – Bernama, September 8, 2021
