U.S. Embassy in Malaysia

• Individuals who have been fully vaccinated abroad must appear at the nearest district health office (PKD) for verification and validation to obtain a digital vaccination certificate on the MySejahtera application. Individuals must present their COVID-19 vaccination records or certificates.
• After receiving confirmation from PKD, the State Health Department will send the information to the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) in Putrajaya. Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) in Putrajaya will then inform MySejahtera to update and issue a digital certificate in the application.

JKJAV advises that the processing time may take 7 – 30 days. Please note that the U.S. Embassy cannot assist with the MySejahtera vaccine registration process.

COVID-19 Vaccine Information
The U.S. Department of State has no greater responsibility than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas. We continue to communicate travel advice to U.S. citizens during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the Department of State does not provide direct medical care to private U.S. citizens abroad, we are:

• Working with other countries to ensure all residents, including U.S. citizens, can receive vaccines through their vaccination programs and in accordance with their national vaccination plans. For more information on the Malaysian national vaccine program, please visit our Embassy webpage on COVID-19 or Malaysia’s National Immunization Website.
• Ensuring that U.S. citizens overseas who travel back to the United States can be vaccinated easily and effectively (please visit Vaccines.gov utilizing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 888-720-7489) to find a location in the United States).
• Providing all appropriate consular assistance to U.S. citizens in need overseas. This includes providing U.S. citizens with clear information regarding eligibility to receive a vaccination in a foreign country or providing repatriation loans to assist destitute U.S. citizens with travel back to the United States.

Travelers should routinely review the Department of State’s Travel Advisory for Malaysia and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Travel Health Notice for Malaysia.

Actions to Take:

• Have a travel plan that does not rely on the U.S. Government for assistance.
• Review and follow the CDC’s guidelines for the prevention of COVID-19.
• Check with your airline or travel operator regarding any updated information about your travel plans and/or restrictions.
• Visit travel.state.gov to view individual Travel Advisories for the most urgent threats to safety and security. Review what the State Department can and cannot do for you during an international crisis.
• Visit our Embassy webpages on COVID-19 for information on conditions in each country or jurisdiction.
• Visit the Department of Homeland Security’s website on the latest travel restrictions to the United States
• Visit keeping workplaces, homes, schools, or commercial establishments safe.
