MOH investigates allegations on deaths linked to vaccines

KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry (MOH) is investigating allegations that there were deaths of its staff linked to the COVID-19 vaccines, which went viral on social media lately.

The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) in a statement today said the results will be made known to the public once the investigations are completed.

"As of now, there have been no reports of deaths caused by COVID-19 vaccines," it said.

The statement added the ministry also urged the public not to share or spread information from unverified sources, which can cause public confusion.
