A recent clinical data audit of local COVID-19 fatalities showed that four deaths involved fully vaccinated individuals, Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today. 

“Our recent clinical audit data analysis on the ‘breakthrough deaths’ showed that among the overall 12,993 deaths recorded, 80 cases had been partially vaccinated (0.6 per cent) and four cases had full vaccination (0.3 per cent),” Dr Noor Hisham said briefly in a tweet this morning.
