The results of the experiments of the last stages of the Covid-19 vaccine of the Sinovac Biotech company in Brazil showed the effectiveness of more than 50%, as scientists hope that the Chinese vaccine will help fight the epidemic in developing countries .
The Wall Street Journal cited people involved in its development that the results of the vaccine pave the way for the possibility of giving it the green light for its use.
The Wall Street Journal says Brazil is the first country to complete three-phase trials of the Chinese company’s vaccine, which is also being tested in Indonesia and Turkey.
With regard to conducting clinical trials for Sinovac outside the communist country, the American newspaper explained that “with the relatively control of the Covid-19 disease caused by the Coronavirus in China, vaccine developers in the country had to conduct their trials clinicians abroad “.
People who participated in the Brazilian experiments, which completed the third phase last week, told the Wall Street Journal that the results showed that the effectiveness of the Corona virus vaccine exceeded 50%, which is the limit that international scientists consider applicable.
And scientists who are tracking the development of the vaccine hope it will show similar effectiveness to other Covid-19 vaccines, which reached 95% in experiments.
“Everyone expects an efficacy of more than 90%,” said Domingos Alves, a professor at the Ribeirao Preto School of Medicine in São Paulo who specializes in analyzing health data. The results of the early stages of the trials were very good.
The Brazilian Botantan Institute, the São Paulo state government-supported research center that was testing the Corona virus, is preparing to announce the vaccine’s effectiveness on Wednesday.
While rich countries buy doses of vaccines from Western pharmaceutical companies, poor countries pin their hopes on China. Additionally, Sinovac vaccine can be stored in a normal refrigerator at a temperature between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit, making it easier to transport and store in less developed areas.
The governor of São Paulo, Joao Doria, led the Brazilian development of the Chinese vaccine, which is expected to be the first vaccine approved for use in the Latin American country most affected by the virus.
Brazil has recorded more than 187,000 deaths from Covid-19 so far and continues to report tens of thousands of new cases each day, making it an ideal field for testing vaccines.
