Umno supreme council member Puad Zarkashi has asked for answers on the wastage of the Covid-19 vaccine doses, as revealed by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday.
"It was shocking when the PM announced yesterday that six million Covid-19 vaccine doses are left unused, and some have to be destroyed after expiry. Isn't this a waste?
"What are the losses involved? Who ordered (the vaccines), and who benefited from it?" Puad (above) asked in a statement on Facebook this morning.
At a press conference yesterday, Anwar advised the public to take their Covid-19 vaccine booster doses to protect themselves from the coronavirus.
He also revealed that Health Ministry records showed only 49 percent of the people had taken their booster doses so far, leaving the country with a surplus of six million vaccine doses.
Elaborating, Puad urged Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah to explain the matter.
"The people need to know why the (vaccine uptake) campaign failed, and who is responsible for it.
"The government must investigate this as the PM himself has revealed this," he added. - Mkini
