PRIME Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech Covid-19 vaccine on Wednesday, signalling the start of Malaysia’s largest inoculation programme. One of the significant considerations about getting 80% of the Malaysian population vaccinated will be building trust and understanding to address concerns about the vaccine, especially one produced on an accelerated timeline.

Understand and inform public expectations about vaccine benefits, risks and supply: Much is still unknown about what the public knows, believes and fears about the vaccine, and how that may change over time.
