Australian media said she could therefore become the first person to receive the new corona vaccine in Australia. The first person to be immune to the new coronavirus after the vaccine. However, local health officials still questioned the vaccine he received.
Rochelle Crossley currently works for Etihad Airways, based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as a flight attendant. She was also vaccinated against the new crown after the company’s front-line staff were injected.
In an interview with Australian media about why vaccination, he said: “The fear of contracting the virus outweighs the fear of vaccination. We all have different side effects, but the main reason is pain in the arm. After the first vaccination He was a little coughing, but nothing went wrong with the second shot. “
Australian media mentioned that the new corona vaccine administered by Rochelle Crossley came from the China National Pharmaceutical Group. In the UAE, more than 30,000 people have received the injection, which is part of the phase III trial of the vaccine.
According to the Sinopharm Group official website, the Sinopharm China Bio-New Crown Vaccine Phase III clinical trial is currently progressing smoothly in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Peru, Argentina and other countries, and has entered the final sprint stage, with more than 5 volunteers inoculating ten thousand people and the population sample covers 125 nationalities. Phase III clinical trials of the new corona vaccine in many countries are nearing completion, and the trial data is better than expected.
However, Rochelle was questioned when she returned to Australia for vaccination. According to the report, just last week, when Rochelle arrived at Sydney airport with documents related to her vaccination, Australian health officials were very confused about her vaccination against the new crown: “They looked at me as if I was the person who committed the mistake. They said you knew there was no vaccine. “
Rochelle Crossley was later sent to a hotel in Sydney for quarantine and reunited with her family in accordance with epidemic prevention regulations.
Regarding the Rochelle Crossley vaccination, the Australian media also interviewed Dr Robert Grenfell from CSIRO (Australian Commonwealth Industrial and Scientific Research Organization), who did not clarify the role of the vaccine. In his statement, he noted that the Sinopharm vaccine is one of five vaccines that are currently in the final testing stage. But even if it’s successful, it doesn’t mean that the virus won’t continue to spread: “Getting vaccinated at this stage doesn’t mean you can’t allow the virus to spread through your nose or hands,” he said.
In addition, Australian media reported that currently, Australia and Pfizer of the United States have signed an agreement for 10 million doses of the new corona vaccine, and are expected to get the new corona vaccine developed by Pfizer Group. as of 2021.
