No govt monopoly on Covid-19 vaccine purchases, says Health Minister


PETALING JAYA: The government denies that it is monopolising the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines, which some claim is slowing down supply to the rest of the country.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pic) said the government had taken a "whole of government approach" which involves the Health Ministry; Foreign Ministry; Communications and Multimedia Ministry; Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry and the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV).
