BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): Several cities across China have recently started offering residents a single-dose Covid-19 vaccine in addition to the two-dose inactivated vaccines that were already widely used in the country s vaccination drive.
At the temporary vaccination station in Shanghai s Xuhui district on Wednesday (May 19), a new CanSino sign was placed alongside the Sinovac and Sinopharm ones as vaccine providers of the day.
People waiting to be vaccinated at the station were given the choice of receiving the single-dose adenovirus-based viral vector vaccine Ad5-nCoV, whose trade name is Convidecia. That vaccine uses a modified adenovirus to induce neutralising antibodies against the novel coronavirus.
