The government is expected to receive the clinical reports of the third phase of testing of a potential Covid-19 vaccine next week, said Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said that on Monday, adding that the government was in negotiation with 10 companies, including Pfizer and its partner BioNTech, for the potential Covid-19 vaccine but did not reveal which pharmaceutical company would be submitting its clinical report to the government next week.
