Can physical vaccination cards be used as proof of vaccination?

Question

Accepted Answer

Physical Vaccination Cards Accepted as Interim Proof of Vaccination

Individuals who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 but are awaiting their digital vaccination certificates due to ongoing technical issues can use the physical cards issued by their vaccination centres (PPVs) as valid proof of vaccination. Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has confirmed that enforcement personnel at various premises are authorised to accept these physical certificates or cards in lieu of the digital version displayed on the MySejahtera application.
Acceptance of Physical Vaccination Proof

The Ministry of Health, through its Health Minister, has explicitly stated that physical vaccination cards issued by the vaccination centres (PPVs) are acceptable as proof of vaccination for individuals still awaiting their digital certificates. This measure is in place to accommodate the technical difficulties some users are experiencing with the MySejahtera application, ensuring that vaccinated individuals are not inconvenienced while these issues are being resolved. Enforcement personnel have been instructed to recognise these physical cards as valid documentation.
MySejahtera Technical Issue Resolution

The MySejahtera team is actively addressing a significant backlog of technical issues related to digital vaccination certificates. As of the latest update, approximately 500,000 technical issues have been resolved, with an estimated 200,000 cases still pending resolution. These technical glitches encompass a range of problems, including those arising from dependent account statuses, unverified identification numbers, multiple accounts per user, and incomplete documentation by some PPVs.
Common Causes for Missing Digital Certificates

Several common reasons have been identified for the absence of digital vaccination certificates in users' MySejahtera accounts. These include situations where dependent vaccine recipients' certificates are tied to a primary account owner, necessitating the release of dependent accounts. Other issues involve MySejahtera account owners failing to complete mandatory identification number verification or having their digital certificate displayed in an account different from the one used during their vaccination visit.
Documentation and Verification Challenges

A substantial number of cases, around 71,000, are attributed to PPVs not completing the necessary documentation process after individuals received their vaccines. The MySejahtera team is working with the concerned PPVs to rectify these documentation gaps and enable the issuance of digital certificates. Additionally, some individuals may have forgotten to scan at all necessary stations at the PPVs, or documentation issues specifically related to private clinics and ProtectHealth, require further information gathering for resolution.
