Malaysia to roll out AstraZeneca COVID jab for over-60s

Al Jazeera  

The government has been criticised for a slow vaccination campaign amid a renewed jump in cases. Malaysian health authorities say the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca is safe for use, three days after the Southeast Asian nation received its first batch of shots from the COVAX facility led by the World Health Organization. Malaysia, which has a population of more than 30 million people, received its first shipment of nearly 270,000 doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine on Friday. Ministry officials said the vaccine was found to be “suitable for use” for those aged 60 and older, and they were assessing available data before approving it for use for younger people. But the country, which after a conditional lockdown earlier this year has allowed public life to continue almost as normal providing people follow health regulations such as mask-wearing and physical distancing, is seeing a fourth wave of coronavirus cases.
