Malaysia said it expects to receive the first batch of the Covid-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and BioNTech in February, according to a report by national news wire Bernama.
Last month, Malaysia announced it had agreed to buy 12.8 million doses of the vaccine, becoming the first country in Southeast Asia to strike a deal with the US drugmaker.
Under the deal, Pfizer will deliver the first one million doses in the first quarter of 2021, with 1.7 million, 5.8 million and 4.3 million doses to follow in subsequent quarters.
