Antah Pharma will be offering on-site Covid-19 vaccination for its corporate clients, or customers may choose to get their vaccine through its panel doctors and clinics.
Malaysia maintains that Sinovac’s Covid-19 vaccine is effective, even as a Thai study found that antibody levels in people fully vaccinated with Sinovac halved every 40 days.
Pharmaniaga says the last batch of doses for the federal government’s 12 million order will be delivered on July 21, after delivering 11.5 million doses as of July 14.
Singapore is also omitting Sinovac recipients from its national vaccination tally, with the government claiming there is little data on the vaccine’s efficacy against Covid-19 variants of concern.
However, Khairy Jamaluddin is allowing delivery of “certain portions” of the Selangor state government’s Sinovac order from Pharmaniaga to start the state’s pilot Covid-19 vaccination programme.
Pharmaniaga says this will not disrupt its obligation to fulfil the federal government’s order of 12 million Covid-19 vaccine doses that’s expected to be completed by July.
Khairy Jamaluddin also says that the filled and finished Sinovac vaccine produced by Pharmaniaga is of the same quality as the finished vaccine imported from China due to NPRA’s rigorous quality control.
