Sinopharm JVCo to sponsor 10,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine for frontliners


China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm), through GI Healthcare Resources Sdn Bhd — a joint-venture company (JVCo) with local investors — has agreed to sponsor 10,000 doses of the former's Covid-19 vaccine for Malaysian frontliners...

...

According to GI Healthcare Resources, Sinopharm is currently carrying out Phase III trials on its two vaccine candidates in 10 countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Egypt, and Morocco, involving over 55,000 subjects.

The company said none of the trial participants reported any adverse reactions or side effects.

Its vaccines have also been approved for emergency use in China, the UAE and Bahrain involving more than a million frontliners, said GI Healthcare Resources.

"More than 60,000 personnel who have been vaccinated have gone to work in more than 180 countries overseas without a single reported case of Covid-19 infection," it added.

GI Healthcare Resources claimed that based on the examples above, Sinopharm's vaccine effectiveness is close to 100%.

"Of the 99 employees in Huawei's Mexico office, 81 were vaccinated and 18 were not vaccinated. After the outbreak, none of the 81 vaccinated employees were infected, whereas 10 out of the 18 employees who were not vaccinated were diagnosed to be Covid-19 positive," it added.

The company said Sinopharm's vaccines are leading in terms of safety, effectiveness, and accessibility, as they can be stored and transported at temperatures ranging between -2°C and -8°C, which they claim is far more practical and convenient compared with vaccines by other pharmaceutical firms, which may face storage and logistical issues.

"This will enhance the assessment process for registration of the vaccine in Malaysia," it added.

Im more than happy to get the vaccine out as soon as possible. Yes read the highlighted part

The company said none of the trial participants reported any adverse reactions or side effects.

Trial mean still under a test. I agree my word are a bit harsh lab rat but yes it still serve the same meaning.

You see if future vaccine is approved and certified to use will the company still sponsor us for free? Maybe yes maybe no but hopefully they still do it.

1. The firm didn't say when the vaccine would come. Maybe by the time they provide the vaccine, the trial has been completed.

2. Whether there are adverse reactions, usually we would know it in a few days. It is the effectiveness of the vaccine which requires longer time to determine.

3. What is wrong being a trial participant, if one is young and healthy?
