"This supply is to be given to 20,000 vaccine recipients for the immunisation programme," he told Bernama when contacted here today.

Asked on delivery of Sinovac vaccines to Kelantan in June, Dr Zaini said they have yet to receive information on the quantity.

Yesterday, Kelantan Local Government, Housing and Health Committee chairman Dr Izani Husin said the state would receive a large quantity of Sinovac vaccines and hoped residents would seize this opportunity by registering as vaccine recipients. — Bernama
