“The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) had been in communication with various companies including AstraZeneca on their submission plans for COVID-19 vaccines,” the authority said in a statement, adding that all vaccines are rigorously evaluated.
Singapore’s health authority said on Monday it was in talks with AstraZeneca about its coronavirus vaccine and had sought more information from Sinovac Biotech prior to using the vaccine for its immunisation drive.
Many Asian countries are now accelerating the rollout of AstraZeneca’s vaccine despite a brief scare in Europe, where many countries temporarily halted its deployment over reports that it was linked to blood clotting.
