EU ambassador denies Khairy's vaccine hoarding claims

2021-06-23 3

The European Union (EU) has denied allegations by the coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP), Khairy Jamaluddin, that the bloc was hoarding Covid-19 vaccines.

EU Ambassador to Malaysia Michalis Rokas said the claims were baseless because the EU’s actions proved that it was very concerned about the issue.

Rokas said the EU had approved the export of about five million doses of vaccines to help Malaysia accelerate the NIP.
