The Chinese Communist Party and its leaders have been vaccinated with the national COVID-19 vaccines, a senior fitness official said on Saturday.
“This shows that leaders attach importance to the cadres fighting the virus and have confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines developed at the national level,” Zeng Yixin, deputy minister of the National Health Commission, told a news conference.
Zeng added that the 3 vaccines developed nationally have received emergency use authorization from the World Health Organization, and more than a hundred countries have approved vaccines made in China for public use.
He said the leaders of more than 30 countries — Turkey, Serbia, Cambodia and Chile — have been vaccinated with Chinese vaccines, and it appears that Chinese vaccines have gained great popularity among the foreign community.
