The UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has approved the emergency use of Sinopharm CNBG's new recombinant protein vaccine.
The vaccine will be available to residents as a booster dose starting January 2022.
The approval came following “strict monitoring and evaluation” of data from a study conducted in the UAE.
The study included individuals who were previously vaccinated with two doses of Sinopharm CNBG's inactivated vaccine. The seroconversion rate (efficacy) was up to 100 per cent in generating neutralising antibodies. No side effects were recorded among any of the participants.
The ministry added that the vaccine demonstrated an “improved immune capacity” against SARS-CoV-2 variants, with a high safety rate that allows rapid production and easy storage and distribution.
The UAE-based study has also showed an immune response against new variants of the virus in volunteers.
The ministry affirmed that the emergency use of the new vaccine is in “full compliance with the regulations and laws for a faster review of licensing procedures”.
