KUALA LUMPUR: The government today said that it will not compromise on the safety, efficacy and stability of Covid-19 vaccines, with a final decision on the usage subject to their approval and registration by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) under the Ministry of Health.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said there will be no corners cut in NPRA’s independent evaluation of the clinical data.
“The government takes the issue of safety very seriously. One of the main objectives of the first two phases of clinical trial is safety. Every vaccine must pass these two phases and must be proven safe before the vaccine enters phase three.
