Not fair to blame govt for Covid-19 vaccine wastage, says MMA


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has come to the defence of the government over claims of the high amount of wastage of the Covid-19 vaccine.

It claimed in a statement on Friday (June 9) that the reason for the wastage was actually the non-existent demand for the vaccine after the first booster shots were rolled out.
