KJ: M’sia signed non-disclosure deal with vaccine makers


PUTRAJAYA: Countries buying Covid-19 vaccines cannot disclose pricing details, a condition set by pharmaceutical companies, which is why the government cannot make public the cost for dosages bought from each company, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said this needed to be explained as the question of how much the government is paying each vaccine company had been raised by politicians and the public, especially on social media.
