Fully vaccinated Malaysians travelling to the United States can show their proof of vaccination on the MySejatera app as well as negative Covid-19 test, according to the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
In a recently released explainer video, the embassy said the US accepts proof of vaccination by official sources.
These include MySejahtera, CDC Covid-19 Vaccination Record card and other official certificates issued by respective countries.
"Beginning November 8, foreign nationals travelling to the United States are required to demonstrate proof of full vaccination against Covid-19, in addition to showing proof of a negative Covid-19 test," said the US Embassy in a caption accompanying the video.

The Jom Travel Ke U.S. video features two women in a casual conversation, interspersed with Bahasa Malaysia and local slang words, discussing travel requirements to the US.
"Alamak...I heard those people who got certain vaccines cannot go to the US!" one of the women said during the conversation.
However, a representative from the embassy assured that the accepted vaccines will include FDA approved or authorised and WHO Emergency Use Listing vaccines.
"Anyone who is fully vaccinated with an FDA or WHO authorised vaccine can go to the US," the embassy staff explained, adding that those who didn't take booster shots are also allowed entry.
