Malaysia’s shot at the Covid-19 vaccine

A Malaysian-made Covid-19 vaccine is expected to be ready in 2024, and will further pave the way for the country’s vaccine research capabilities.

The vaccine will also fill Malaysia’s need for extra booster shots if they are required in future, says the Institute for Medical Research (IMR), as the lead organisation behind the effort.

Glad to see the support for local vaccines...if this doesn't work/come out in time nvm, we will have the experience and knowhow and be more prepared for the future...kudos to those involved

Whoever say its too late are dumb, don't listen to them.
We not only need to be able to make our own vaccine, we also need to be able to make our own ppe and our own ventilator, in case something like this happens again in the future.
Keep up the great work.

Dont give up Malaysian researcher and keep moving. Its never too late. The Pfizer, Moderna also not 100% efficacy and not guarantee yet its one shot or yearly vaccinated. Im keep strongly supporting our Malaysian researchers for this, God’s will soon we will not depending so much to other countries West and China. We can, 1Malaysia Boleh!

Good. Malaysia needs to start producing and not just consume. We must be self-sufficient. We kept being in the "developing country" catagory. Time to break that.

Thank you for this excellent effort. Having been in the scientific research field, I believe that our scientist are very capable. Moreover, performing animal trials before testing it on human is a very wise decision. Malaysia boleh !
