Global regulatory agencies still reviewing Covid-19 vaccination for children, says Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 1 — Malaysia has yet to decide to go ahead with Covid-19 vaccination exercise for children below 12 years old, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

According to him, vaccine manufacturer Pfizer-BioNTech was in the midst of producing a Covid-19 vaccine for children, and it would have a different dosage from adults. For the time being, however, he said the government maintained its stance it was not going to legally mandate vaccines as mandatory. Under this policy, a person would need to test themselves with a Covid-19 test kit regularly to ensure they were free from the virus.

“Whether it is rapid test kits and if that is positive, will be confirmed through a PCR test,” he said.
