GEORGE TOWN: Concerns of being jabbed with an empty syringe filled the mind of finance analyst Yeap Sim Ho when she turned up at the SPICE Arena for her dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. “After hearing about incidents of empty syringes, I couldn’t help but be extra cautious. “Here, the vaccinator showed me the vial of vaccine, the syringe drawing up the vaccine, the jabbing process into my left arm and the syringe emptied after that. Penang Health Department Family Health Development Branch assistant senior director Dr Amin Harin said vaccines will only be jabbed once vaccinators and those to be vaccinated are in agreement. “Our advice to the public is always request to see their syringe to ensure it is filled and emptied after they are jabbed.
