A coronavirus vaccine candidate developed by a Chinese pharmaceutical company could be ready for use by the end of this year, state media reported.
Liu Jingzhen, chairman of China National Pharmaceutical Group (SinoPharm), told state broadcaster CCTV on Tuesday that SinoPharm started phase three clinical trials in late June and the product was expected to enter the market by the end of the year.
“Phase three trials should be completed in about three months. In the meantime, they are in the final stages of approval,” he was quoted as saying.
The vaccine candidate was jointly developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products and the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products – subsidiaries of the SinoPharm unit, China National Biotec Group (CNBG).
Liu said the two institutes had built P3-level production facilities to ensure they had the capacity for large-scale production if the next phase was successful.
China National Biotec Group said it started a phase three clinical trial in the United Arab Emirates on June 23. The trial is being conducted by CNBG in alliance with the Abu Dhabi Government and Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence company G42 Healthcare.
The trial involves about 15,000 participants and two vaccine strains.
Liu said the vaccine candidate entered phase one and phase two clinical trials on April 12, adding that he received an injection as a test on March 30. “The effect is ideal and no one has experienced severe side effects,” he said.
Sinopharm’s announcement news comes as the world is still struggling to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 15 million infections and over 630,000 deaths recorded.

This is a "HELL NO" to any CCP "Vaccine"
I’ll volunteer to test an American-made vaccine, but I’m not taking any Chinese vaccine. Who would trust the quality and efficacy?
China’s quality control is always on point...
They never lie either, or kill 80 million of their own.
I agree.
Won’t take the CCP vaccine even if it is identical to the one developed in the Houston area.
This is actually funny ! I wonder if the Karen’s would lineup for the Chicom attempt at this coronavirus vaccine, instead of Moderna ?
We’re all smart enough here not to take this or any needle from any doctor anytime anywhere. Unless for damn sure we need it
That being said
the media has hyped this stupid flu !!!!yes it’s just a flu bro !!! B
into such a megalithic fear tornado
that we actually have to at least state STATE. that there is a vaccine
and state that there is one available AVAILABLE.
in order for all of the collective Karen’s
in the media IN the sports IN in the political world to ACCEPT things like
opening of schools !!!opening of bars !!! taking off the mask !!!!and getting back to life as normal !!!!!!!
and such
Méimén.

“And the vaccine will be filled with contaminants, “ the spokesman added. “It will probably kill you.”
Create a virus, come up with the vaccine, make a fortune.
Pretty sure I caught the Wu Flu in March so I will wait for a non-sketchy option thanks
No thanks, China!
I’m very much pro-vaccination and anti-disease, but I don’t want ANYTHING that comes from China. They’re liars, cheats, and thieves. We should be cutting all ties to them, especially economic. Move all production to other places where the people aren’t slaves and the government isn’t hell-bent on world domination. Then cut off all trade and diplomacy. Only Nixon could go to China. Maybe Trump can get us the heck OUT!
I am pro-vaccine but I’ll take my chances until I can get tested for the antibodies. If that comes back negative, I have a wide assortment of two layer cotton masks. I’ll wait.
I’d rather catch the virus than have a Chinese vaccine for it.
No freakin’ way.
Wait. How many vaccines for respiratory viruses have proven efficacy so far?
Usually do pretty well with the flu shot
Gotta hand it to the Chinese
Their quality control has greatly improved.
Covid-19 has lasted longer than any other product manufactured in China...
Ah.. Chinese.
What could possibry go long?
Oh goody a Chinese vaccine. What could go wong?
Pneumonia, Influenza, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Measles, and a whole host of others.
“Coronavirus: Chinese pharmaceutical firm says Covid-19 vaccine may be ready this year”
Is that because they had a head start and began working on a vaccine last November when they knew it had escaped their bio lab and how dangerous it was?
