<\/a> Sinovac cleared for use in Egypt:<\/strong> Health regulators have granted approval to China\u2019s Sinovac vaccine for emergency use, the authority said in a statement<\/a> last night. This is the fourth covid vaccine approved by the EDA following Sinopharm, Oxford \/ AstraZeneca, and Russia\u2019s Sputnik V.<\/p>\n

Sinovac\u2019s efficacy rate is \u2026 fine:<\/strong> Sinovac has an efficacy rate of 50.4%<\/a> in preventing infections \u2014 well below the 92%<\/a> efficacy rate boasted by Sputnik V, the 79%<\/a> reported by Sinopharm, and 76%<\/a> by AstraZeneca. Reuters<\/a> also covered the story.<\/p>\n

Egypt is preparing to start local production of the vaccine:<\/strong> Egypt plans to manufacture 40-60 mn doses of the Chinese vaccine each year<\/a> after state-owned vaccine maker Vacsera signed an agreement with the company last week. An initial batch of 5 mn doses will be produced over the next two months. And local pharma company Minapharm will produce some 40 mn doses of Sputnik each year<\/a>, with production scheduled to start in November.<\/p>\n

State-owned Vacsera will be able to produce up to 100 mn doses a year<\/strong> following the opening of its new plant in Sixth of October City, El Watan<\/a> quoted Health Minister Hala Zayed during a presser. The new facility will have a production capacity of 40-60 mn doses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zayed is being called to parliament to explain the situation in Sohag:<\/strong> The House Health Committee has summoned the health minister to deliver a statement in light of the deteriorating situation in Sohag, Youm7<\/a> reports. Committee chair Ashraf Hatim said the minister will face questions on the rising volume of cases nationwide, which he described as a \u201creal problem,\u201d while other committee members voiced concerns about a lack of supplies in hospitals in Sohag.<\/p>\n

And the Doctors\u2019 Syndicate isn\u2019t happy as the death toll mounts:<\/strong> Sixty-one medical professionals have died from covid-19 since the beginning of April, roughly double the monthly figure seen in past months, the Doctors Syndicate said in a statement<\/a> yesterday. This brings the total to almost 500. The syndicate criticized the health minister\u2019s statement this week which only mentioned the 115 doctors working in isolation hospitals<\/a> that have died, rather than the total figure. It also urged the ministry to either provide vaccines to all doctors or ensure that they are provided with equipment to protect them from the virus.<\/p>\n

Cases + deaths rose again yesterday:<\/strong> The Health Ministry reported<\/a> 991 new covid-19 infections yesterday, up from 953 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 223,514 confirmed cases of covid-19. Cases have now risen continuously for more than three weeks, and are up more than 40% from the end of last month. The ministry also reported 58 new deaths, the highest daily figure since mid-February. The country\u2019s total death toll is now 13,107.<\/p>\n

Our covid resilience is improving, according to Bloomberg:<\/strong> Egypt is now ranked 38 on Bloomberg\u2019s Covid Resilience ranking<\/a> after rising 10 spots in April, up from the 47th spot in January<\/a>. The improvement in our resilience enduring covid-19 comes as the country\u2019s vaccine rollout picks up steam, with 680k doses of the Sinopharm vaccine<\/a> and the first 854k-dose batch of Oxford \/ AstraZeneca jabs<\/a> from the Gavi \/ Covax program landing in Egypt. Some 5 mn doses of China\u2019s Sinovac vaccine<\/a> will also be locally produced within two months at the factories of state-owned Vacsera, before bringing the total to 40-60 mn per year. Bloomberg\u2019s ranking is \u201ca measure of the best places to be in the coronavirus era\u201d by looking at a country\u2019s metrics such as monthly cases and fatality rates, percentage of the population covered by vaccine supply agreements, the strength of its healthcare system, and GDP growth forecasts.<\/p>\n

At the top: Singapore, New Zealand and Australia<\/strong> are still leading the ranking.<\/p>\n

At the bottom: Poland and Brazil<\/strong> are the lowest-ranked countries on the list.<\/p>\n

COVID AROUND THE WORLD-<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US is going to stop hoarding vaccines: <\/strong>The US will send up to 60 mn doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to other countries as \u201cthey become available,\u201d Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, said in a tweet<\/a> yesterday. The US is on course to acquire 300 mn<\/a> excess doses by July, leading to growing calls<\/a> for it to share its stockpile with countries still in the throes of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

EU sues Astrazeneca over missed deliveries: <\/strong>The EU is suing AstraZeneca for allegedly failing to deliver the contracted number of doses, the BBC<\/a> reports. The EU Commission signed up to purchase 300 mn doses last August, but the company only shipped 30 mn of an agreed 80 mn in the first quarter and is on course to provide only 70 mn of 180 mn doses this quarter. AstraZeneca said earlier this year that production problems meant it would have to reduce its supplies, and said yesterday that the lawsuit was \"without merit.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
