The minister announced <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/69472ef9-9ee9-4af9-b020-309cccfa9b29\">last December<\/a> that negotiations over a license are ongoing and that Egypt has already established a production line for the vaccine at state-owned vaccine maker Vacsera. We\u2019re also getting closer to an Egyptian covid jab, with clinical trials for a local vaccine named Covi Vax <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b5524763-ab2f-4eb3-a685-052091da22da\">due to start soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sinovac \u2260 Sinopharm. <\/strong>The Sinovac jab has pros and cons. It\u2019s a two-dose vaccine that is easily stored in a normal refrigerator, but its efficacy rate lags Sinopharm. Sinvovac <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210205005496\/en\/Sinovac-Announces-Phase-III-Results-of-Its-COVID-19-Vaccine\">said last month<\/a> that phase three trials in Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, and Chile wound it had a nearly 51% efficacy rate in preventing all cases of covid-19, prevented 84% of cases that would have required medical treatment and 100% of \u201chospitalized, severe, and fatal cases.\u201d Sinopharm, used here and in the UAE, among other countries, has an overall efficacy rate of 79%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, Egypt is set to buy an undisclosed quantity of the Sinopharm jab<\/strong>, Zayed added, after taking receipt of the second 300k-dose gift shipment of the vaccine from China <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b5524763-ab2f-4eb3-a685-052091da22da\">earlier this week<\/a>. <strong>We\u2019re still waiting for some 5 mn doses of AstraZeneca <\/strong>out of an 8.6 mn dose order. The shipment, already delayed as AstraZeneca faces production challenges, should be here by month\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The WHO could lend us a hand for our vaccine manufacturing plans<\/strong> by sending medical delegations and experts to Egypt to participate in the production of jabs that we will then export to African countries, WHO\u2019s Egypt head of mission Naeema Al Gasseer said yesterday during a meeting with Zayed, according to a ministry <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3cUEQPn\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All tourism workers in Sinai and the Red Sea are expected to be vaccinated by the end of <\/strong><strong>May<\/strong> after the Health Ministry decided to add them to the same priority level in the country\u2019s vaccination program as the elderly and chronically ill, Minister Hala Zayed told El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib over the weekend. The ministry is also planning to have the entirety of Egypt\u2019s medical staff inoculated by the end of next week, Zayed said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sSgC-Nm2tmI\">watch, runtime: 6:18<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would-be Hajj goers this year are also getting a share of Egypt\u2019s vaccine stock<\/strong>, Zayed <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3rfqu14\">said at a presser<\/a> yesterday. The Tourism Ministry is in wait-and-see mode for Saudi Arabia\u2019s conditions on the pilgrimage, and is taking into account that the kingdom may not allow those who received the Sinopharm jab to enter the country since it has yet to receive WHO approval, Deputy Antiquities and Tourism Minister Ghada Shalaby told Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XYPAD2mzRDY\">watch, runtime: 6:41<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some 30k individuals in Egypt have so far been vaccinated against covid<\/strong> out of a total of 488k whose registrations on the Health Ministry\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/egcovac.mohp.gov.eg\/#\/home\">online portal<\/a> were approved, Alaa Eid, who heads the ministry\u2019s preventive healthcare department, said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3f0sw2J\">Youm7<\/a>. That means the ministry has inoculated around 4.5k in two days: As of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b5524763-ab2f-4eb3-a685-052091da22da\">Sunday morning<\/a>, a total of 25,500 individuals had received a jab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As many as 250k individuals could be called to ger their jab this week alone<\/strong>, Zayed had said <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b5524763-ab2f-4eb3-a685-052091da22da\">on Saturday<\/a>. By our math, that would require 44k jabs per day \u2014 a 19x increase in the ministry\u2019s current pace. The ministry is setting up 5k medical units and 400 hospitals to administer the vaccines, Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the end of 2021, Egypt could have inoculated 20% of its population<\/strong> if everything goes according to the ministry\u2019s schedule, health economics professor Islam Annan told El Hosary (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TTj_MlPhbJk\">watch, runtime: 12:31<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Health Ministry <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3vPRDLs\">reported<\/a><\/strong><strong> 643 new covid-19 infections yesterday<\/strong>, down slightly from 647 the day before. The ministry also reported 39 new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 11,637. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 196,061 confirmed cases of covid-19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Europe\u2019s third wave: D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu with a twist.<\/strong> More than a dozen European countries are entering Lockdown 3.0 while the continent struggles to kick its vaccination program into high gear, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/22\/third-covid-wave-hits-europe-france-germany-eye-more-lockdowns.html\">CNBC<\/a> reports. <strong>And Europe isn\u2019t alone: Countries around the world are seeing a significant uptick in<\/strong><strong> covid-19 cases<\/strong>, snapping a six-week streak of declines, partly due to the spread of more infectious variants of the virus, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/world-news-pandemics-health-coronavirus-pandemic-united-nations-8ce998fcdb34dd0d4cc5ec5343177ef0\">the Associated Press<\/a> reports, citing a top WHO official. The uptick appears to have everything to do with variants and comparatively little to do with people getting pandemic fatigue and relaxing precautions, the Economist said, as <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e8ebb948-387f-4a4c-b5a3-434084d82a69\">we noted<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global supply chains are at risk of further disruptions thanks to unvaccinated <\/strong><strong>sailors on board shipping vessels.<\/strong> Some countries, most notably China, are imposing vaccination requirements at their borders despite over half of the world's 1.7 mn sailors coming from developing countries where vaccines won't be widely available before 2024, according to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/72feaabd-5f94-40ad-9073-0178db969b23\">Financial Times<\/a>.
