Lee reminded the public to always check their MySejahtera app to ensure that they do not miss their vaccination appointment.

“For those who have received their first dose of the vaccine, please do not forget to check your MySejahtera notification on your second dose.”
The public can also review the status of their respective vaccination appointments on the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) website at https://www.vaksincovid.gov.my/semak-status/
Lee also advised those yet to register for vaccination to contact Miri DDMC via WhatsApp at 011 59284348 or 011 59424290, and to provide details such as full name, identity card number, telephone number and complete address.
They can also register at any nearby health clinics or liaise with their respective community leaders or associations.
