KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A message that has gone viral on social media stating that applications for the AstraZeneca vaccine is open to all in Malaysia is fake, said the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee.

It said in a statement on Sunday (May 16) night that the link https://www.vaksincovid.gov.my/en/register that went viral was only for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme and not for the AstraZeneca vaccine.
