Written By Huizhong WuChina has given broader approval for the domestic-made Sinovac coronavirus vaccine, expanding those who can receive it beyond the high-risk and priority groups already allowed under an emergency clearance. Regulators gave conditional approval for Sinovac Biotech Ltd’s shot, Coronvac, on Friday, clearing the way for general use, The National Medical Products Administration announced in a statement Saturday. The Sinovac vaccine has already been sold to at least 10 other countries and is being administered to people in at least five other countries. The conditional approval means the vaccine can now be given to the general public, though research is still ongoing. It is the second locally made vaccine to be given conditional approval.
