Singapore delivered 100,620 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines to its neighbour, the Malaysian state of Johor, on Dec. 2, as Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan called on the Sultan of Johor to affirm support for the state’s effort to combat COVID-19.

The vaccine contribution came on top of the 20,000 Sinovac doses donated to Johor in July to facilitate the state’s earlier target to vaccinate 90 percent of its adult population by October.
