Doctor in the House: Is Malaysia Ready to Manufacture COVID-19 Vaccines?

The race to get to the first COVID-19 vaccine got a lot more heated last week with news that Russia has approved the world’s first vaccine. We’ll discuss that, as well as whether Malaysia has the capacity to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines domestically, with co-host Dr George Lee, Consultant Urologist, as well as our guests Prof Poh Chit Laa, Head of the Centre for Virus and Vaccine Research, Sunway University; and Ashish Pal, Vice-President, Pharmaceutical Association of Malaysia.
