Sinovac said on Monday that its COVID-19 vaccine CoronaVac is safe and effective in children ages 3-17.

Turkey launched Thursday the mass vaccination program against COVID-19 with the vaccines developed by China's Sinovac company.

Believe it or not, the global tally of COVID-19 cases is inching closer to 88 million.

With rich countries snapping up supplies of COVID-19 vaccines, some parts of the world may have to rely on Chinese-developed shots to try to conquer the outbreak. The question: Will they work?

Brazil’s health regulator halted clinical trials of the potential coronavirus vaccine CoronaVac, citing an “adverse, serious event,” according to a statement it posted to its website Monday night.

A Chinese pharmaceutical company said Thursday the coronavirus vaccine should be ready by early next year for distribution worldwide, including the United States.

Though many countries are making frantic efforts to have potential corona vaccines of the leading candidates that are now at the final stage, health experts think Bangladesh looks slow in its move to have an effective one in time.

Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming will volunteer to be the first participant in the phase III trial of a Covid-19 vaccine candidate in Bangladesh, once it is approved by the government.
