Two advisers to minister in charge of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) Khairy Jamaluddin have responded to Selangor health executive councillor Siti Mariah Mahmud’s criticisms about vaccine supply in the state.

Khairy’s science adviser Ghows Azzam and technology adviser Dimishtra Sittampalam both refuted Siti Mariah who had earlier urged the minister to “be truthful” about vaccine supply in the state.

“Salam YB Siti Mariah, you could have easily contacted the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) regarding this instead of putting it on social media,” Ghows said in reply to a tweet from Siti Mariah.
