Many vaccines have been under construction around the world. But some vaccines are in the limelight due to their positive results in trials. Russian Vaccine Sputnik and Chinese vaccine Sinovac is the vaccine that Brazil is going to purchase for coronavirus treatment.
The Russian president has tested the Sputnik vaccine on his daughter to show the world about the positive results of the Sputnik. The Sputnik vaccine is tested on around 10k volunteers and found positive results and now another trial is ongoing on around 40k volunteers from September. But the WHO has not given any approval to the Sputnik vaccine. The Chinese vaccine has been showing positive results as in phase 3 the vaccine has been tested on
around 12 k volunteers. The 2 doses of vaccine are given to the old and 1 for the young ones. This vaccine is also not approved by the WHO.
Last week the Brazilian health minister said that Brazil has agreed to purchase the Chinese
Sinovac, Sputnik, AstraZeneca, and Oxford University’s vaccine. The Bolsonaro government has also decided to buy the UK Vaccine and then going to produce it in Rio de Janeiro.
Jair Bolsonaro : on social media banged sinovac
But on 21 st October Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro came on social media and denounced the Chinese vaccine Sinovac that his health ministry had agreed to purchase in back days.
The main reason to slam the Chinese vaccine is that china is not cooperative to give information
about the coronavirus and the Sinovac vaccine is not approved by the WHO. The Brazilian government doesn't want to spend millions on the vaccine which has not been approved.
