Health Ministry evaluating second booster shot after study finds Sinovac with Pfizer booster still less effective against Omicron

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 1 — The Health Ministry was studying the need for a second booster dose following the increased prevalence of the highly infectious Covid-19 Omicron variant globally, said Khairy Jamaluddin.

He was also asked if recipients of the Sinovac vaccine who received the Pfizer booster in Malaysia may require a fourth dose in the future. Khairy said his ministry’s technical team will be proposing recommendations to the Covid-19 Immunization Task Force after completing a few studies of its own, adding that it was still too early to draw any definite conclusions from the study.
