The Minister of Health (Provisional), Khairy Jamaluddin now shared that the government has started testing the Covid-19 vaccine in the form of a spray that needs to be inhaled and is being tested in Malaysia.
This type of vaccine is offered as an alternative to the injection type vaccine that has been offered since before.
The government says it is testing this type of inhaled vaccine produced by CanSino - which is one of the providers of the vaccine portfolio used in Malaysia. However, if it is used in China, it has some limitations including not being suitable for those who have any breathing problems - including asthma. In addition, this type of vaccine is offered as a booster dose in China.
Through this vaccine, people only inhale the vaccine spray for about 5 seconds, and the process is seen to be faster and easier. For now, it is still in the testing stage in Malaysia, and it is not known whether it will be widely used or otherwise.
