Head of the Covid-19 mitigation and
national economic recovery committee
(PC-PEN Committee) Airlangga Hartarto
assures that the Food and Drugs
Monitoring Agency (BPOM) has obtained
the test reports of the Sinovac vaccine
conducted in Brazil and Turkey.

“The emergency use authorization has
been issued in Turkey and we have already received the study report from Brazil,”
said Airlangga on Friday, January 8. The minister claims that the BPOM will soon
issue its own EUA.

The BPOM will reportedly announce the authorization in a media briefing today.

Turkey previously reported that the vaccine efficacy rate was 91.25 percent for the
CoronaVac after their third trial was completed. They claimed that it can potentially
improve following an evaluation from the Turkish scientific committee.

Meanwhile, Brazil released a report on the experimental vaccine developed
by Sinovac Biotech that recorded 78 percent efficacy against Covid-19.
