Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Wednesday that as part of the contract with a supplier for Sinovac, 200,000 doses were delivered to Singapore.
“It so happened for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that the data have been submitted in a timely fashion. And that allowed the HSA to grant approval soon after, or just before these vaccines arrived on our shores and therefore there's a perception that the approval came and the vaccines and were delivered in short order,” he said.
“Until that additional data is submitted, HSA will not be able to complete its evaluation process, and therefore would not be able to give it its provisional approval,” he said.
