Chinese vaccines against Covid-19 are safe and have been administered to senior leaders such as President Xi Jinping to reassure the public about the quality of the drug, health officials said on Saturday, 23.
A year and a half after the start of the vaccination campaign, China has spoken openly about the vaccination situation for the first time by Chinese leaders.
Currently, the Asian giant is reporting only a few hundred new positive cases a day, while authorities are having great difficulty convincing citizens, especially the elderly, to get vaccinated.
While the population distrusts the quality of Chinese vaccines, they believe it is no longer a health emergency.
“All current leaders of the Communist Party and state have been vaccinated against Covid-19 and have been vaccinated with vaccines produced in China,” the deputy health minister, Zeng Yixin, said on Saturday.
In addition to the head of state, Prime Minister Li Keqiang was also vaccinated with a Chinese vaccine.
