Here is what we know so far…

 

Malaysia To Get 2 Million Vaccine Doses From US + Japan!

On 30 June 2021, the National Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin, announced that Malaysia will receive 2 million vaccine doses from the US and Japan :

• 1 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine contributed by Japan will arrive on Thursday, 1 July 2021.
• 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine contributed by the United States will arrive on Friday, 2 July 2021.

 

How Will US + Japan Vaccine Contribution Help?

These two million doses will certainly go a long way to help speed up COVID-19 vaccination in Malaysia, which recently has been vaccinating over 200,000 people a day.

Increasing the vaccination speed is critical if Malaysia is to achieve the goals set out in the National COVID-19 Recovery Plan.

Moving from the current Phase 1 to Phase, for example, requires meeting these minimum requirements :

• average daily new COVID-19 cases must be <4,000
• moderate healthcare system / ICU capacity
• 10% population vaccinated with second dose

As of 29 June 2021, just 2,214,001 people in Malaysia have been fully vaccinated. That’s approximately 6.7% of the population.

Without a big influx of vaccines, and a surge in vaccinations, it will take many weeks before Malaysia can fully vaccinate 10% of its population.
