SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Sao Paulo Health Secretary Jean Gorinchteyn said on Monday he expects Brazil’s regulator to approve the COVID-19 vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac by January.
Gorinchteyn said the Butantan biomedical research institute, that is running the late-stage trials of the Sinovac vaccine in Brazil, has now reached the minimum number of infected cases to register the vaccine.
