A total of 40,000 doses of the 400,000 doses of anti-H1N1 vaccine ordered by the Health Ministry are expected to arrive in the country by the end of next month, said its minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
He said the vaccine would be evenly distributed with priority given to front line personnel and high risk groups like pregnant women and children.
The balance 360,000 doses would arrive in early January, he told reporters after attending a breaking of the fast function with the orang asli community in Sunagi Gapoh near here today.
Liow said the anti-H1N1 vaccine was being sourced from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) which is based in the United Kingdom.
