“If we have to defer, or if we find that AstraZeneca is unsuitable, we have some other (back-up) plans. For example, we received an offer from Pfizer-BioNTech to add another 12.8 million doses, in addition to what we have ordered, which is about 30 million doses. “This is still in the back-up plan if it (AstraZeneca) cannot be administered,” he said in a press conference with Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Ir Hasni Mohammad, at Bangunan Dato Jaafar, here, Sunday.
