Health ministry to investigate video on vaccine jab for Khairy’s son

The health ministry will investigate allegations as well as a video which went viral on social media, claiming that the vaccine solution was taken out from the syringe just before the injection was given to Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin’s youngest son.

Deputy Health Minister I Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali also confirmed that Khairy’s youngest child had received the Covid-19 vaccine injection.

“Looking at what he (Khairy) showed me, his son has been vaccinated… he has received the vaccine. However, we will investigate. Tomorrow I will inform him if the video has been edited, then we will take action.

“In fact, so far we have investigated quite a number of cases and taken action. People are always finding fault even though the vaccine is one of the government’s efforts to protect children,” he said to reporters in Kota Bharu yesterday.

This follows speculation and allegation that the nurse who administered the vaccine to Khairy’s
youngest child had removed the liquid before performing the injection.

Noor Azmi also asked the public not to believe false news involving the Covid-19 vaccine, as the ministry was always sensitive to adverse events following immunisation and only wanted to give the best for the health of the community.

As part of these efforts, he said, the ministry would mobilise a strategic communication unit to provide information and clarification on facts and data about the Covid-19 vaccine.
