January 03, 2021 People have cast doubts on the vaccine, with some claiming that it may contain porcine elements. Reuters KUALA LUMPUR - As the arrival of the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines in Malaysia nears, Mr Abdullah Salleh finds himself in two minds about receiving an immunisation shot. Despite being pro-vaccine, the 37-year-old videographer said he is hesitant about taking a shot due to the possibility of experiencing a lethal adverse reaction, as he is allergic to certain drugs. "I'm actually worried because I'm allergic to Augmentin-based drugs. I hope the substance is not included in the vaccine," he said. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections.
