PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has thanked the United States for donating one million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, scheduled to arrive today. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said Wisma Putra welcomed the arrival of the vaccine contribution from the US. Malaysia is expected to be receiving a total of 12 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines this month. Hishammuddin said that these vaccines would greatly intensify Malaysia’s vaccination process and make meaningful progress to the ongoing rollout of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme. Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had also announced in his address to the Nikkei International Conference in May of Malaysia’s support for the IP protection waiver for Covid-19 vaccines, noted Hishammuddin.
