Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Jan 28 went to the airport to welcome a shipment of nearly 2 million vaccines developed by Chinese firm Sinovac Biotech as the South American country prepares for mass vaccination campaign against COVID-19.
Pinera noted that the Health Ministry approved Sinovac's CoronaVac vaccine as "safe and effective" for immunizing all age groups over 18, including those over 60.
Pinera earlier also announced that he and Health Minister Paris "are going to be vaccinated with a Sinovac vaccine and, probably, we will do it in the second week of February."
On Jan 20, the Chilean Institute of Public Health authorized the emergency use of the Sinovac vaccine.
