UAE plans to roll out shot publicly after trial of 31,000.
Abu Dhabi looking to restart economic activity in two weeks.
China’s state-backed coronavirus vaccine protected 86% of people against Covid-9 in trials conducted in the United Arab Emirates,
state media there reported, giving credence to the quickly developed shot that China intends to distribute around the developing world.
The data was from trials that included 31,000 volunteers in the UAE, which found the vaccine was highly effective
in preventing moderate and severe cases of Covid-19 and had no serious safety concerns,
according to the report, which cited the country’s Ministry of Health and Prevention.
The shot’s success now paves the way for full public use of the vaccine and a re-opening of the Gulf nation’s economy, the ministry said.
Developed by Sinopharm unit China National Biotec Group Co., the vaccine has already been administered to hundreds of thousands
of people under emergency authorization in China, but it’s yet to receive public use approval from any drug regulators.
