GEORGE TOWN: Penang MCA has questioned the DAP-led state government as to why they did not purchase Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine to speed up the vaccination process in the state.

Penang MCA vice-chairman and Youth chief Lim Swee Bok said the daily Covid-19 cases in the state were on the rise.

“By getting everyone vaccinated, we hope to return to normal life as soon as possible," said Lim in a press conference at the state MCA headquarters on Monday , adding that more vaccine meant the state government should put in more effort to buy vaccines from relevant authorities. “Now that the federal government has allowed it, they should do so and purchase vaccines for the people to increase the state’s vaccination rate,” he said.

On July 23, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said a total of 14 million doses of the Covid-19 Sinovac vaccine will be sold by Pharmaniaga to interested states and private companies from this month until September.
