PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): An additional RM2bil to RM5bil allocation for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme is needed after various factors were considered, including increased costs to procure the Covid-19 vaccine and the costs to administer the programme, says Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said the RM5bil allocation covered RM3.5bil for vaccine procurement and logistics, RM333mil , RM260mil and RM100mil for sanitisation and cleaning.

"Taking into consideration the risk of supply disruption such as export bans, raw materials, manufacturers’ capacity and regulatory approvals, the total of 82.8% has been increased to 110% and was announced in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme guidebook where the vaccine procurement costs for 110% of the population is RM3.16bil, ” he said Tuesday .

"Therefore, although at this time the procurement costs are estimated to be RM3.16bil, it depends on the additional supply while taking into consideration provision of the vaccine for youths and buffer stocks to reach a ceiling of RM3.5bil set by the Finance Ministry. Khairy said he and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, as co-chairmen of the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Committee, have tabled the Covid-19 vaccine procurement plan and the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme implementation to the Public Accounts Committee on Jan 5.
