In a filing to Shanghai's stock exchange, CanSino said it would manufacture and supply unspecified mRNA products to AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca said the deal would support investigational mRNA vaccines in its early pipeline. The country approved in March its first homegrown mRNA vaccine against COVID, developed by CSPC Pharmaceutical Group (1093.HK). CanSino has been working on its own mRNA COVID vaccine, and said in February it was in discussion with Chinese regulators around the protocol for a late-stage study for its COVID mRNA booster vaccine, CS-2034. It also comes after vaccine maker Moderna (MRNA.O), which has said that it was keen to sell its mRNA vaccine to China, announced a deal last month to develop and manufacture mRNA medicines in the country.

BEIJING, March 22 (Reuters) - China's CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Limited (1093.HK) said on Wednesday its messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine had received emergency use authorisation from Chinese health authorities, making it the country's first domestically developed mRNA shot. China has declined to use mRNA vaccines from abroad and vaccines available in China are widely considered less effective than the Moderna (MRNA.O) and Pfizer (PFE.N)-BioNTech (22UAy.DE) mRNA shots. The company said its independently developed mRNA vaccine SYS6006 targets some major Omicron variants and its booster dose showed good neutralization effect against Omicron subvariants BA.5, BF.7, BQ.1.1., XBB.1.5 and CH.1.1. The firm got emergency approval to conduct clinical trials of the mRNA shot in April last year, around the same time as CanSino, another China-based company that is testing an mRNA Omicron booster shot. Shares in the company rose as much as 7.7% after the result and the announcement of the mRNA approval.

It hasn't yet approved any mRNA vaccines. But SK Bioscience says China is unlikely to source foreign COVID-19 vaccines, due to "national pride." SK Bioscience has developed its own COVID-19 vaccine, which is now being used in South Korea. "China has administered 3.4 billion doses of COVID vaccines for its people, covering over 90% of its population," said Liu. Even so, Chinese drugmakers are racing to produce mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

BORDER REOPENINGSunday marks the reopening of China's border with Hong Kong and the end of China's requirement for inbound international travellers to quarantine. More than a dozen countries are now demanding COVID tests from Chinese travellers, as the World Health Organisation said China's official virus data underreported the true extent of its outbreak. In Shanghai, for example, the city government on Friday announced an end to free PCR tests for residents from Jan. 8. China has relied on nine domestically-developed COVID vaccines approved for use, including inactivated vaccines, but none have been adapted to target the highly-transmissible Omicron variant and its offshoots currently in circulation. China reported three new COVID deaths in the mainland for Friday, bringing its official virus death toll to 5,267, one of the lowest in the world.

SHANGHAI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - China's CanSino Biologics Inc (6185.HK) has entered "test production phase" for its COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccine, the company said in a post on its social media account late on Thursday. The CanSino booster vaccine is one of China's first home-grown potential vaccines based on mRNA technology similar to that employed in vaccines produced internationally by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. On Thursday, CanSino also reported "positive" interim data from a mid-stage clinical trial in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange. According to CanSino, the first phase of its mRNA vaccine production could produce 100 million doses.

Beijing has not officially said it is ending its zero-COVID policy, but the adjustments are the clearest sign yet China is quickly pivoting away from that policy and towards letting its people live with the disease. Health officials are still warning that trends in fatalities will be closely watched in case a return to tougher measures is needed. Over the past few weeks, authorities have made varying policy changes in cities such as Guangzhou and Beijing, despite recent record infections. With jubilation, especially in big cities, frustrated by the inconvenience, uncertainty, economic toll and travel hurdles that came with zero-COVID. Also, time will tell with the winter flu season and the annual session of parliament that usually starts on March 5.

Changes varying by location have taken place even in cities such as southern Guangzhou and Beijing, the capital, despite recent record infections. Yet the current tally of 5,235 COVID-related deaths is a tiny fraction of China's population of 1.4 billion, and extremely low by global standards.

Also, the immune response measured in the blood was weaker than that from a shot-in-the-arm vaccination. India's health minister last month approved Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 nasal spray vaccine while China's CanSino Biologics Inc (6185.HK) last month won emergency approval by the country's drug regulator for an inhaled version of its COVID-19 vaccine. The British trial enrolled 30 previously unvaccinated participants as well as 12 volunteers, who had previously received a standard two-dose vaccine course by injection. "The nasal spray did not perform as well in this study as we had hoped," said Sandy Douglas, chief investigator of the trial at Oxford University's Jenner Institute. No serious adverse events or safety concerns were reported during the trial, which was funded by AstraZeneca, according to the statement.

Latinos are underrepresented in the media industry workforce across film, radio, television, newspapers and digital platforms, according to the report. Latinos are 19% of the nation's population, almost 1 in 5 Americans, and 18% of workers outside the media industry. The largest percentage of Hispanic media industry workers were employed in service worker positions (19%) — which include food, cleaning and personal and protective services, according to the latest available reports submitted by media companies to the U.S. In positions that can influence the content audiences consume, Latinos were far less represented: They made up only 7% of professional media industry positions such as actors, producers, directors, writers, reporters and editors. When Latinos did see themselves represented in content, they felt "it was inaccurate" in most cases, de Armas said.

A COVID-19 vaccine mist has been approved for use as a booster dose in China. The vaccine maker CanSino repackaged its shot as a mist meant to be inhaled. Regulators in China approved a COVID-19 vaccine mist for use as a booster dose, making it the first alternative to injectable vaccines used during the pandemic. Similar to the COVID-19 vaccines used in the US, CanSino's formulation contains pieces of genetic material so the body can recognize the virus. Only time will tell if the mistable COVID vaccine provides enough booster protection to be approved and widely distributed in other countries.

Власти тем временем говорят о высокой эффективности даже одного компонента вакцины, а второй подумывают заменить на британскую AstraZeneca или китайскую CanSino. По официальным данным, на сегодняшний день в Аргентину поставлено около 7,8 млн доз первого компонента «Спутника V» и около 1,5 млн доз второго компонента (то есть примерно в пять раз меньше). 23 июня ситуацию прокомментировал пресс-секретарь президента России Дмитрий Песков: он заявил, что приоритетом для России является внутреннее потребление. “Удовлетворить абсолютно весь спрос за границей сиюминутно не представляется возможным, но по истечении времени все обязательства будут выполняться», — пояснил он.

Un total de 1,01 miliarde de doze au fost deja administrate, a precizat Ministerul Sănătăţii de la Beijing. Iniţial, chinezii nu s-au grăbit să se vaccineze, deoarece virusul a fost practic eradicat din ţară de mai bine de un an, datorită carantinei obligatorii, a testelor masive şi a aplicaţiilor mobile pentru controlul călătoriilor. China speră să vaccineze cel puţin 70% din populaţia sa până la sfârşitul anului, adică aproximativ un miliard de persoane.
