China to make COVID-19 vaccines free for citizens –Official
Published 31 December 2020
China will provide free COVID-19 vaccines to all its citizens, said Zeng Yixin, Deputy Head of the National Health Commission, at a news conference on Thursday.
“All Chinese people will receive this vaccine free of charge,’’ the NHC official said.
After the COVID-19 vaccines are approved to enter the market, especially when production capacity increases, China will comprehensively vaccinate senior citizens, people with underlying conditions and the general public in an orderly manner.
“China will vaccinate the eligible population as widely as possible and gradually build an immune barrier in the whole population to control the epidemic,’’ said Zeng.
