Cairo – Mubasher: The Egyptian Drug Authority has approved China’s Sinovac coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine for emergency use.
This is the fifth COVID-19 vaccine approved by the authority following Sinopharm, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, Russia’s Sputnik V, and Oxford/AstraZeneca AZD1222, according to a statement late on Monday.
Last week, the Egyptian Holding Company for Biopharmaceuticals and Vaccines (Vacsera) signed two agreements with China’s Sinovac Life Sciences Company to manufacture the Chinese vaccine in Egypt.
