Experts: Any vaccine shortage unlikely to impact national vaccination plan


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Any restrictions on vaccine exports are unlikely to have a significant impact on the national Covid-19 immunisation programme, says local experts.

University of Malaya's Epidemiology and Public Health expert Professor Dr Sanjay Rampal Lekhraj Rampal says any delay in delivery of the vaccine may not significantly affect vaccination strategies in the short to mid-term period, adding that Malaysia is a good example of a country that has planned ahead when it comes to sourcing vaccines.
