Beijing's health chief has said that China will not carry out mass vaccinations on its population because Covid-19 has largely been wiped out in the country. Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr Gao Fu, said sweeping coronavirus vaccinations would only be needed if there was another major outbreak. 'This is an issue of balancing risk and return,' Dr Gao said, as quoted by the China News Service. Dr Gao Fu has previously said that China's first coronavirus vaccine could be ready by September. Last month, Dr Gao Fu, revealed that he has been injected with an experimental coronavirus vaccine.
