KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 — The direct supply of Covid-19 vaccines to states by interested sponsors does not have to go through the federal government, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said today.

He clarified that vaccine supplies through Putrajaya is just one of the options available, and that state governments could source their own as long as they are approved by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA).

“So for instance, there are state governments that want to receive a donation and they are donations that are genuine, that are legitimate, that when we checked with the vaccine producer they know about it, then there is no restriction for any state governments to receive any donations,” he said during the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force’s (CITF) virtual press conference this afternoon.
