Pharmaniaga successfully distributes Sinovac vaccine earlier than contract schedule

Pharmaniaga's supply contract to the government is the supply of 12 million doses of Covid-19 Sinovac vaccine on a 'fill and finish' basis over a period of seven months between May and November 2021.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pharmaniaga Bhd has supplied 12 million doses of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine to the government for the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) and the final batch will be supplied on July 21, which is four-and-a-half months earlier than the original contractual schedule.

The pharmaceutical company said since the number of first dose injections in all states had almost reached six million, instructions had been given to stop giving the first dose.
