SHAH ALAM: A total of 14 million doses of the Sinovac vaccine will be sold by Pharmaniaga Bhd to interested states and private companies from this month until September, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said the sale of the vaccine directly to interested parties had received the approval of the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee (JKJAV), and could further expedite efforts to achieve herd immunity earlier than scheduled.
