“China will have 600 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine ready this year”, the South China Morning Post reports Wang JunZhi, from the Task Force on Vaccine Development, as saying in Wuhan. Mr Wang also said that there will be a major announcement in the next one to two weeks.
Two of these vaccines are being made by China National Biotec Group (CNBG) and a third by Sinovac Biotec.
These vaccines are in the final stages of Phase 3 trials in South America, the Middle East and Asia, however the drug makers have yet to release any Phase 3 data.
