WHO, UN must intervene on vaccine passport issue, says Khairy


PUTRAJAYA: The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) must intervene in the vaccine passport issue where certain countries are “discriminatory” against vaccine types, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said the decision on giving concessions to vaccinated travellers must be based on disease control as well as public health measures in the country of origin, not the type of vaccines.
