THE country’s highest Muslim clerical body is expected to issue a halal certification for the experimental Covid-19 vaccine developed by China-based Sinovac Biotech, officials said.

The certification would be a significant step in immunisation efforts in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, should the vaccine be approved for use.
