Covid-19: Govt to procure Pfizer vaccines for kids under 12


PETALING JAYA: The government will procure Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines for children in the country as the US Food and Drug Administration has recommended the vaccine for those between the ages of five to 12, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

"With the FDA panel recommending Pfizer jab for 5 to 12 years old, Malaysia will go forward with our procurement of Pfizer for kids. We will also look at other options like Sinovac," the Health Minister tweeted on Friday (Oct 29).
