Bahrain OK's Chinese COVID-19 vaccine for use

 

• Bahrain has approved the use of a China's coronavirus vaccine, developed by Sinopharm (OTCPK:SHTDF), following earlier vaccine approval made by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and its German partner BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX).
• Bahrain's news agency said the Chinese vaccine would be available in the island kingdom off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf.
• It offered few details though on study results of the vaccine, in line with the UAE, which last week announced vaccine efficacy of 86%.
• Morocco is gearing up for an ambitious COVID-19 vaccination program, aiming to vaccinate 80% of its adults this month, relying initially on the Sinopharm vaccine.
• Separately, Kuwait has granted emergency use for the Pfizer vaccine. The ministry has already offered citizens the option to pre-register to receive the vaccine on its website.
