UAE reports need for a third dose of China’s Covid vaccine
Some people who have received the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine in the United Arab Emirates have had to be given a third dose to boost their response, according to local health authorities.
Doctors said that the antibody response to two doses of the vaccine — the main one offered in the UAE’s successful programme — had been variable.
Although the UAE health ministry has given few details, local newspapers reported that a “small” proportion of those who had received doses needed a third.
Sigh. Chile is reporting 5,000 cases per day, higher than usual, despite already injecting an unusually large number of Sinovac vaccines.
