KOTA BHARU, July 15 — The Kelantan Health Department (JKNK) will stop distributing the Sinovac vaccine to all vaccination centres (PPV) in the state by the end of this month, said director Datuk Dr Zaini Hussin.
Dr Zaini said beginning August, the supply of Sinovac vaccine would be replaced with Pfizer vaccine in the same amount and as such there would be no issue of vaccine shortage in Kelantan.
The National COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) will only be supplying the Pfizer vaccine to Kelantan,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
However, should CITF supply us again with Sinovac or any other types of COVID-19 vaccines, they would still be used.
Earlier, JKNK in a notice dated July 13 informed that the supply of Sinovac vaccine to Kelantan will be terminated at the end of July and will be replaced with Pfizer vaccine.
Beginning July 18, all PPVs will only be supplied with the second dose of the Sinovac vaccine.
