PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Health Ministry is carrying out the procurement of "low dead-volume" syringes, needed to administer the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine injections, with local and foreign companies, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

He said this type of syringe was needed and appropriate for the vaccine because it could avoid wastage and maximise the number of doses to be given, especially in the first phase of the national Covid-19 immunisation programme, which will begin on Feb 26.
