KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 — Medical personnel, who are assisting the Covid-19 vaccination effort under ProtectHealth Malaysia, are now required to show recipients the syringe filled with their Covid-19 vaccine prior to inoculation.
The directive was issued following allegations that some medical personnel had drawn less than the standard required amount of the vaccine during the AstraZeneca voluntary opt-in programme, leading to fears of underdosing.
News portal Malaysiakini stated that it had sighted a message informing all those tasked with administering the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to show the filled syringe to the recipient before vaccination as well as the emptied syringe afterwards.
