Covid-19: M'sia in midst of developing methods to administer vaccine through nasal spray


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is developing methods to administer a Covid-19 vaccine orally or through a nasal spray as part of the National Vaccine Development Roadmap (PPVN), says Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim.

He said the different methods of administering the vaccine were being studied because there are people who are afraid of needles, adding that this might prevent them from getting a dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.
