PETALING JAYA: New data must be assessed before the Pfizer vaccine is allowed to be stored at higher temperatures here in Malaysia, says Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

This comes as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently granted approval for more flexible storage of Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine, allowing it to be stored at normal freezer temperatures.
