KUALA LUMPUR: The inoculation of a 12-year-old with an empty syringe was due to human error, says Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force-Adolescent (CITF-A) chairman Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali (pic).

Dr Noor Azmi clarifies that the medical staff mistakenly took an empty syringe that had not been used, instead of a syringe that had been filled with the vaccine earlier.
