BioNTech said on Thursday it had sent 11,500 doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to China for use on German expatriates, marking the first overseas-made shots allowed into the country.
BioNTech said the delivery contained both the vaccine targeting the original strain of COVID-19 and its updated one targeting the BA.4/BA.5 subvariants of Omicron.
Although official case figures have become an unreliable guide, according to some experts, British-based health data firm Airfinity estimated infections in China are likely to be more than a million a day, with deaths at more than 5,000 a day. A French health ministry official said on Thursday that France had not yet decided how best to vaccinate expatriates in China and the government was following the situation carefully.
