Talk to other Covid drug Tproducers while maintaining Covax arrangement, govt urged
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia should widen its options in the search for a Covid-19 vaccine. One way is to join Covax, the global initiative to provide access to Covid-19 vaccines, as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Malaysia should look to other countries, including Singapore, that are developing their own vaccines, according to health experts.
Dr Sanjay Rampal, professor of epidemiology and public health at Universiti Malaya, said Malaysia should ink an agreement to join Covax and make the upfront payment of RM94.08 million as soon as possible to ensure that at least 10% of the population is vaccinated.
“We should maintain Covax as an option given its bigger basket of vaccine candidates even if the government has already signed a deal with China to enhance its access to the Chinese vaccine,” Sanjay told theSun yesterday.
