PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia wants clarity on the European Union’s latest stand on vaccination for travellers, but says all vaccines approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) should be recognised in vaccine passport systems.
Coordinating minister of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Khairy Jamaluddin described the EU’s decision to only accept visitors immunised from a select list of vaccines as discriminatory and unfair.
“The EU should expand its recognition of vaccines for travellers to all that have secured approval under WHO. That would be the fairest outcome.
“As long as they have been listed by WHO, that country should accept travellers coming in who have been vaccinated using those vaccines.
