Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin told parliament today that the Health Ministry and the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunisation (Gavi) are finalising the date to sign the Optional Purchase Arrangement agreement to participate in the Covid-19 vaccine global access (Covax) scheme.

The WHO-led Covax scheme would guarantee vaccine supply for 20 percent of the country's population.

“The decision for Malaysia to join this facility will involve costs that include an upfront payment and a risk-sharing guarantee of US$22,656,200.00 or approximately RM94.08 million," said Khairy during the Ministers’ Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today.
