KUALA LUMPUR: The terms in the agreement with Pfizer (Malaysia) were agreed on despite being unfavourable as the emergency procurement of Covid-19 vaccines was "a matter of life and death" says deputy health minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni.
Lukanisman (GPS-Sibuti) said countries entering an agreement with the vaccine makers including Pfizer had to sign a confidential disclosure agreement (CDA) and a binding term sheet (BTS) before the manufacturing and supply agreement (MSA) was inked.
