New feature for expectant, breastfeeding mums on MySejahtera

PETALING JAYA: A new feature will be added to the MySejahtera application by the end of the week to identify pregnant and breastfeeding women to ensure they are administered the recommended Covid-19 vaccine.

“For example, for women 14 to 33 weeks pregnant, the Pfizer vaccine is the recommended vaccine,” science, technology and innovation minister Khairy Jamaluddin told a press conference today.

Recently, FMT reported that a campaign had been launched to push for clear guidelines about vaccinations for expectant mothers, with MPs like Yeo Bee Yin and Teo Nie Ching lending support to the initiative.

Liyana Helmy Had, who launched the petition, had questioned how expectant women would be identified under the national immunisation programme as the MySejahtera application does not require applicants to declare if they are pregnant. — Free Malaysia Today
