KUCHING: The Sarawak Health Department will first have a discussion with those selected to undergo the clinical trial for the Covid-19 vaccine from China, before obtaining their consent.
State Health Department director Dr Chin Zin Hing said those who have been selected would be contacted personally to be present at the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH).
“After the clinical study specifications have been explained and the individuals have given their consent to participate, only then will they be officially included in the clinical trial list.
