The Sinovac vaccine is the second one from China that has been included in WHO Emergency Use Listing, following the Sinopharm vaccine which was validated earlier last month.
WHO recommends the vaccine for use in people 18 years and older, in a two-dose schedule with a spacing of two to four weeks, according to a statement. However, Sinovac's efficacy could not be estimated in the age group of people over 60.
