Covid-19 Vaccine Start Sale To Private Sector On August

Pharmaniaga Bhd will start selling Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine in the open market from next month as it has fulfilled its commitment to the government, group managing director Datuk Zulkarnain Md Eusope said.

Zulkarnain also clarified that the total of 14 million doses of Sinovac vaccine for sale to interested states and private companies was to speed up the vaccination process nationwide.

He said after the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency’s (NPRA) approval, Phamrmaniaga’s “fill and finish” programme had reached four million doses a month compared to two million doses previously.

“Hence, from June to September we will have a surplus of 14 million doses from the fill and finish programme. With this surplus, we can move simultaneously whether to supply back to the government, the private sector, or the state government to ensure the vaccination process runs smoothly,” he told a virtual press conference today.

Zulkarnain said the ceiling price and sales guidelines for the Sinovac vaccine by private parties had been proposed and would be announced by the govenrment next week.
