Expert: Get technology, talent and funding first

PETALING JAYA: With three vaccine projects launched through the National Vaccine Development Plan, an expert says Malaysia needs to acquire the necessary technology, talent and funding first before venturing any further.

Universiti Malaya epidemiologist Prof Datuk Dr Awang Bulgiba Awang Mahmud said the amount allocated for the projects were insufficient, pointing out that the country has never developed a vaccine for human diseases.
