‘Exhaustion led to empty syringe case’


PUTRAJAYA: The recent case where a nurse performed a vaccination using an empty syringe was due to human error resulting from exhaustion, revealed Khairy Jamaluddin, who called on the public not to diminish the “sacrifice” of all frontliners due to such isolated incidents.

Khairy said that while the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) view public claims on empty vaccination seriously, he hoped that the public would continue to support the hard work of frontliners.
