PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry (MOH) is in talks with pharmaceutical company Pfizer to obtain another 30% supply of Covid-19 vaccine, Comirnaty (Concentrate For Dispersion For Injection) produced by Pfizer-BioNTech.

Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the additional amount would cover 50% of Malaysia’s population, adding that the National Covid-19 Immunisation Plan programme could be implemented ahead of schedule after the country was expected to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at an earlier date.
