PETALING JAYA: Investigations on the fake vaccination certificates have revealed that the cases were linked to paid vaccinations under the Private Purchase Vaccination, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

       The Health Minister said the police have successfully tracked down and reported investigations on several premises of private medical practitioners allegedly involved in the sale of vaccination certificates.

       “The results of the investigation and review by the Health Ministry with the police found that so far, all the cases detected involved the implementation of paid vaccinations conducted by the Private Purchase Vaccination.

       “As per stipulated procedure, all vaccination processes carried out by Covid-19 National Immunisation Programme (PICK) and Private Purchase must be reported to the ministry through the MyVAS system for the purpose of record and issuance of vaccination certificates,” he said on Thursday (Jan 20).

       Khairy added that the private medical practitioners involved in the case had given fake vaccination reports to the ministry.

       He added that the dealers of the vaccines involved under the private purchase vaccination, Sinopharm and Sinovac, should tighten their standard operating procedures to avoid similar cases.

       “The ministry would also be doing random surveillance at clinics that give out vaccines to the public,” he said.

       Khairy also said that the investigations regarding the case are still being carried out by the police while the Health Ministry will give its full cooperation.
