Health authorities in Macau on Wednesday said they were suspending the use of Pfizer/BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine after being informed of a packaging problem with a batch of vials.

"Vaccinations with the concerned products must be suspended," Macau's government said in a statement. Hong Kong also suspended the administration of the same vaccine, multiple local media outlets reported.
