Health Ministry to seek AstraZeneca clarification on acknowledgement of vaccine side effects


HULU SELANGOR: The Health Ministry will seek clarification from pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca in relation to the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccine as reported by the international media recently.

Its minister, Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said the pharmaceutical company should be responsible by submitting a thorough and transparent explanation not only to Malaysia but to the whole world, in order to avoid public concern among its vaccine recipients even though the risk rate (those who have side effects) reported is at a level of 0.88 out of a million vaccine doses administered.
