According to data from the Health Ministry, a booster, or a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, has been given to only 18.1 million people, or 8.72 percent of the target.
An employee manually inspects syringes of the SARS CoV-2 Vaccine for COVID-19 produced by SinoVac at its factory in Beijing on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020. A Chinese health official said Friday, Sept. 25,2020, that the country’s annual production capacity for coronavirus vaccines will top 1 billion doses next year, following an aggressive government support program for construction of new factories.
The government needs to provide easier access for people to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 as well as get their booster dose to increase their protection against the disease, including the Omicron variant.
