Beijing. The effectiveness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines is low and the government is considering combining them, the top authority of the Chinese disease control agency said on Sunday, in a rare official admission of the weakness of Chinese vaccines.
Chinese drugs “do not have very high protection rates,” said the director of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control, Gao Fu, at a conference on Saturday in the southwestern city of Chengdu.
Beijing has distributed hundreds of millions of doses in other countries and tried to raise doubts about the effectiveness of Western vaccines.
“Now it is officially considered whether we should use different vaccines from different technical lines for the immunization process,” Gao said.
Beijing has not yet approved any foreign vaccines for use in China.
