PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has started discussions with pharmaceutical companies on possibly securing Covid-19 booster shots, as well as vaccines for children, by next year, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister clarified that even while discussions are ongoing, recommendations from local health experts concerning the need for a booster dose will be given next week.

“There are several countries who have booked the vaccines for the year 2022, there may be a need for a third dose or a second booster shot, and also vaccinations for children. “We have a special focus on Pfizer’s new products, which are specifically for booster shots and for children,” he said in Parliament on Wednesday .
