Expert: No shortcut for approval of vaccines

KUALA LUMPUR: There is no shortcut for Covid-19 vaccines to enter the Malaysian market as they are subject to strict conditions to ensure they are safe, effective and of quality, says the Malaysian Pharmacists Society.

Its president Amrahi Buang said Covid-19 vaccines that were registered in other countries must be approved by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) to be brought into the country.
