A United Arab Emirates company is nearing the end of Phase III clinical trials of a Chinese COVID-19 vaccine and hopes to manufacture it next year, a representative said.

The trial, which began in mid-July, is a partnership between Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group and Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence and cloud computing company Group 42 .

It has been administered to more than 31,000 people in the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and Jordan, G42 Healthcare CEO Ashish Koshy said.He said G42 has distribution and manufacturing agreements with Sinopharm and hopes to provide the UAE and other regional states with the vaccine, especially those that participated in the trial.“Early results are showing it is safe, there is a general rise in antibodies for all the volunteers,” Koshy said.

“I work in a hospital so it was something that we want to help with,” she said. “We trust our country.”

China had 6 month head start on the race so no surprise they might have one.

🤪 Chinese Covid19 vaccine 🤔 👆

I like the sound of this vaccine as it uses a tried and true method. Not sure we will get it here though.

“Chinese”? Get the fuck over it. We have 20% of all cases world wide. Sounds like we are the people who are making it not go away.

Did anyone survive?
