The vaccine showed a 79. 34 percent efficacy and 99.52 percent antibody positive conversion rate, reaching the standards of the World Health Organization and Chinese authorities.
The institute said it had officially filed for market approval with the Chinese authority.
The CNBG Beijing Institute vaccine was said to be undergoing Phase-III clinical trials in more than ten foreign countries.
It was approved in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain earlier this month with an efficacy of 86 percent, according to the UAE Government. As a leading inactivated product, the Sinopharm’s vaccine could be kept in a standard home refrigerator at 2-8 degrees Celsius.
