However, to make the process more dynamic, Malaysia has offered the opportunity to be vaccinated in person without an appointment since the beginning of this month. The Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia has issued a statement today (August 8) to create awareness about this.The statement said the Malaysian government has decided to directly vaccinate migrants living in the Klang Valley (Kuala Lumpur and Selangor) areas.

Those who have a valid visa and who have registered in the recalibration process for validity can easily get the vaccine by registering through the employer. However, those who do not have a valid visa and did not participate in the recalibration process for validity are mentioned in the statement to wait for further instructions.The statement signed by Ruhul Amin, Head of Embassy of Bangladesh High Commission in Malaysia was published on the verified page of the High Commission.
