The UAE's National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has reported that the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine shows 100 per cent protection against moderate and severe Covid-19 infections.
In a tweet, it said the vaccine achieved positive results, with the efficacy rate reaching 86 per cent.
This follows Phase III clinical trials of both the Sinopharm and Russia's Sputnik V vaccine, it was revealed at Tuesday's Covid-19 briefing held by the UAE Government.
The NCEMA added that the 'Hope Consortium' launched by the UAE in November is prepared to facilitate and support the distribution of 6 billion doses of vaccinations around the world, with the aim of increasing this capacity to 18 billion by the end of 2021.
