There’s no evidence on the queue-cutting issue for Covid-19 vaccines based on the investigations made by the Health Ministry, said its Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
Based on an interview with Malay Mail, the Minister said that the vaccines were given to those who were supposed to get them.
So, I deny there was queue-cutting. What happened was, after investigations, I found that those who were supposed to be vaccinated did not turn up or did not come on time as they should. The issue is that when we open a vial, six people need to be vaccinated at one go. During registration some of them were there and when it was time to be administered, they were not. So we were forced to find others at that time to avoid wasting the vaccine. That did happen, but we still gave the jabs to frontliners. Not those who were accused of getting it because of their connections.
