Pakistani President Tests Positive for COVID-19 After Injection With Chinese Vaccine

The Pakistani President tested positive for COVID-19 on March 29, 14 days after receiving his first injection with a Chinese vaccine; on March 20, the Pakistani Prime Minister tested positive for COVID-19, 2 days after he received his inoculation.

Pakistani President Arif Alvi announced on Twitter that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Pakistan approved emergency use of the Chinese vaccine Sinopharm on Feb. 5 and received 500,000 doses in mid-March, bringing its total stock to 1 million doses for the vaccine, which currently requires two doses.

The country has also approved for emergency use the AstraZeneca, the Sputnik V, and another Chinese vaccine the CanSinoBIO vaccine.

In an interview with China Central Television on March 20, Gao Fu, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, explained why two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine may not be enough and a third dose could be required to prevent infections.

A Chinese doctor surnamed Liu from Xi'an city, the capital of Shaanxi Province, tested positive for the CCP virus despite being fully vaccinated with two doses, Chinese media reported on March 18.

A phase three clinical trial of the Sinovac vaccine conducted in Brazil in January reported that it was 50.4 percent effective, which is far below the initial claims of the Chinese company, which touted a 78 percent efficacy rate.
