PETALING JAYA: Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye has voiced his confidence in the professionalism of health workers administering Covid-19 vaccines, saying reports of under-dosing are probably exaggerated.

He told FMT such a mistake rarely happened.

“I don’t think the public should be unduly worried and panic over this,” he said in reference to allegations that people were given reduced doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.

“I believe that any under-dosing, if it did happen, was accidental. The health officer in charge of the vaccination centre should be able to make sure there’s no recurrence.
