Malaysia has granted conditional approval for the use of Pfizer Inc.’s Covid-19 vaccine for children aged between 5 and 11 years old, the health ministry said on Thursday.
The country’s drugs regulator has also cleared a vaccine made by Chinese firm CanSino Biologics to be used as a booster shot for adults over the age of 18, health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said in a statement.
Malaysia, which has one of the highest vaccination rates in Southeast Asia, last week cut waiting times to encourage more people to take a booster jab, in a bid to stem the spread of the highly infectious Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Most of the country’s population has received two doses of the vaccine, including nearly 98 per cent of adults and 88 per cent of those aged between 12 and 17, government statistics show.
