PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry (MOH) has urged members of the public to avoid purchasing vaccines claimed to be able to prevent and treat Covid-19 that are offered by online sellers.

In a post uploaded on Facebook today (Jan 18), MOH said the vaccines that are being touted by sellers on the Internet are most likely counterfeits, unregistered, and may even contain unidentified components. As such, their quality, safety and effectiveness is not guaranteed by the Ministry.
