Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rina Harun said as of June 20, data showed that a total of 568,282 senior citizens had completed both doses of vaccine.
Some 2.6 million out of 3.2 million senior citizens in Malaysia have registered for vaccination through the MySejahtera application, she added.
