Malaysia will vaccinate foreigners: Health Ministry thesundaily HealthMinistry polio UNICEF Philippines vaccines Malaysia
The Ministry of Health will seek the co-operation of the United Nations Children’s Fund to obtain a supply of vaccines to be given to foreigners.
He said the ministry would also seek the co-operation of the government of the Philippines to obtain vaccines, as they could secure a cheaper supply of vaccines. ‘’The ministry will also co-operate with Unicef to obtain vaccines which are subsidised for the foreigners,’’ he said after opening a conference ‘Be a Heart Hero’ at the Malaysian Heart Foundation by MOH Deputy Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye today.
Last week, the media reported that MOH confirmed a three-month old baby boy from Tuaran, Sabah was infected by the polio virus, namely, the first case after Malaysia was free of the disease for 27 years.
