Covid-19: Mixing vaccines is 'plan B', and only if proven safe and effective, says Khairy


KUALA LUMPUR: An expert working group on mixing the Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca vaccines will meet again this week to see if this can be feasibly implemented in case there is a disruption in vaccine supply.

National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the next meeting between the group and the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply on Thursday (June 24) will also present fresh data from other countries.
