According to Bernama, on January 13, Pharmaniaga announced the signing of an agreement with Sinovac to bottle and distribute 14 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Khairy Jamaluddin also elaborated that the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Division (NPRA) was in the process of evaluating Sinovac’s clinical data.
The Sinovac vaccine passed the third stage of clinical trials in several countries including Brazil, Turkey and Indonesia. Khairy Jamaluddin has also addressed the concern in regards to the approval of the Sinovac vaccine in a press conference right after the arrival of the vaccine.

To boost the rakyat’s confidence, Khairy Jamaluddin has also revealed that he will be the first to take the vaccine after it has been approved by NPRA.
To boost vaccine confidence for other vaccines, I will be the first to take whichever vaccine is approved next by NPRA @KKMPutrajaya. Can be Sinovac, Sputnik, AstraZeneca or CanSino. Whatever is available next, I will take. Because I trust NPRA. https://t.co/ioOQ2NpMTs
