SINGAPORE - With pharmaceutical firms rushing to produce vaccines that work against Covid-19, approving authorities have to reassure the public and show that no short cuts were being taken in the process, observers said on Tuesday .

Prof Pangestu was sharing his thoughts during an hour-long panel discussion on vaccines confidence in the time of Covid-19. The event, organised by the EU-Asean Business Council and moderated by its executive director Chris Humphrey, comes as Covid-19 vaccines move through the final stages of clinical trials and regulatory approval.

"In terms of the approving authorities, because the governments are so desperate for a vaccine, are they allowing shortcuts?" she added, adding that the authorities have to show that no shortcuts are being used. The influence of social media should not be ignored, Dr Zulkifli shared, as fake news on vaccinations can spread rapidly online.
