HULU SELANGOR: Clarification will be sought from pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca on the adverse responses from its Covid-19 vaccine amid growing public concerns over the safety of the jab, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

He said the company should address the safety concerns by providing an explanation to Malaysia and the rest of the world, although the risk of side effects from the jab is relatively low at 0.88 out of a million vaccine doses administered.
