LIKE his peers in Singapore and Indonesia, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is expected to be inoculated against Covid-19 on national TV soon after the first batch of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arrives in Malaysia on Feb 26. That he only needed to test negative for the coronavirus but not serve quarantine before meeting Indonesian President Joko Widodo in Jakarta on Feb 5 may well be due to the fact, in part, that Widodo had received his second dose of Sinovac Biotech’s vaccine on Jan 27. Malaysia should enjoy some semblance of “normalcy” by the third quarter of this year if the national vaccination programme goes well and vaccine supply comes in within the reported indicative timeline (see table).
