However, if they are buying the vaccines from the same companies that supply vaccines to the Federal Government, the latter’s orders will be given priority.
Khairy, who is the coordinating minister of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, said this was in accordance with the purchase agreements signed between the Federal Government and the pharmaceutical companies supplying the vaccines.
Besides state governments, this condition also applies to industries and private hospitals wanting to procure their own supply.
However, this does not apply to vaccines that are not part of the national immunisation programme, in which case states are allowed to buy them as long as they are approved by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA).
PETALING JAYA: Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) says he is disappointed with those who are politicising the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.
In a virtual media conference, Khairy said that the accusation that the Federal Government is blocking vaccine purchases by Penang state government levelled against him by Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and former finance minister Lim Guan Eng is baseless and irresponsible.
He said he welcomed efforts of any party to acquire vaccines but said that these were controlled items and could not be easily be purchased like T-shirts from e-shopping platforms. Vaccines need the approval of the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA).
