The government is actively negotiating with 10 of the 12 companies whose Covid-19 vaccine is in the third phase of clinical study, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
“Currently, there are 12 vaccine producers whose vaccine is in phase three trials and the Malaysian government is actively negotiating with 10 of them. He also said there would be no obstacles to private health facilities getting vaccines from approved companies and that the Ministry of Health too could supply to the private sector if there is surplus of the vaccine.
Aware of the importance to combat the pandemic, he said the country was also ready to cooperate with any party to become a vaccine producer in the future.
