Today’s agreement is an extension of the Binding Heads of Terms agreement signed on Nov 24, 2020.

The agreement was signed via a live conference by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, on behalf of the Malaysian government; and for Pfizer, its country manager (Malaysia and Brunei) Luksanawan Thangpaibool.
