PETALING JAYA: Selangor has enough vaccine supply to last a week and is not running low as claimed by a Selangor exco member, says Khairy Jamaluddin s science adviser.
Dr Mohd Ghows Mohd Azzam told Selangor public health executive councillor Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud that the state has about 339,000 doses according to the vaccine management system. With Selangor utilising 40,000 per day, this is enough for at least a week, he said on Twitter on Sunday (June 27).
Dr Siti Mariah had claimed earlier in the day, also on Twitter, that some vaccination centres (PPVs) in Selangor will be forced to stop operations in a matter of days unless their supply of Covid-19 vaccine is replenished.

State Public Health, Unity, Women Empowerment and Family Committee chairman Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud said based on statistics released by the State Operations Room, the first phase of vaccinations involved 233,874 doses while the second phase was 192,096 doses.
“The total number of vaccines given is 425,970 doses,“ she said in a statement yesterday
Dr Siti Mariah said the distribution of vaccines was handled entirely by the Ministry of Health (MOH) with the supply of vaccines allocated to the state sent to JKNS, channeled to the pharmacy division and distributed to district health offices (PKD) and vaccination centres (PPV).
KLANG: Just over 615,000 doses of vaccines were received by the Selangor Health Department and not 2.9 million doses as claimed, says state public health executive councillor Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud.
KLANG: The Selangor government has shot down an article by health news portal CodeBlue that claimed the state had administered a lower number of vaccines than the amount it received from the Federal Government.
