PAC urges govt to set ceiling price for private vaccine sales

PETALING JAYA: The Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has proposed to the government to set a ceiling price for the sale of the Sinovac vaccine by Pharmaniaga Bhd to private entities, as well as on the maximum charges that can be imposed by private healthcare facilities to vaccine recipients.

PAC chairman Wong Kah Woh said the ceiling prices were necessary to ensure that the cost of vaccination is set at a reasonable rate in order to not burden the people financially.
