World's First Vaccine Against All Types of COVID
Chinese people are about to embrace a new COVID-19 vaccine, which
experts predicted could be the most effective developed in China, as the
latest research showed 79 percent efficacy against the dominant Delta
variant and overall 67 percent efficacy against any variants.
The
vaccine, a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by
Chengdu-based Clover Biopharmaceuticals, is also the world's first
COVID-19 vaccine that has been proven effective against all three
mutations (Delta, Gamma and Mu), Zhuang Shilihe, a Guangzhou-based
vaccine expert, told the Global Times on Thursday.
