Chinese vaccine is safe for the elderly, but effectiveness is lower, says manufacturer
Chinese company Sinovac Biotech said today that its COVID-19 vaccine appeared safe for the elderly, based on preliminary results from an initial to intermediate trial. However, the immune responses elicited by the vaccine were slightly weaker than those of younger adults.
Health officials worry that experimental vaccines can safely protect the elderly, whose immune systems often react less strongly to vaccines against the virus.
The Sinovac vaccine is being tested in Brazil and Indonesia. It is in the final testing stage to assess whether it is effective and safe enough to gain regulatory approvals for mass use.
