GENEVA (AN) — The World Health Organization added China's Sinopharm to its list of COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use on Friday, providing the COVAX Facility with another option for broadening access to vaccines globally.
It is the sixth shot that the United Nations health agency has added to an international arsenal of medicines, vaccines and diagnostics against the coronavirus pandemic. The emergency use listing helps expedite regulatory approval processes and enables international organizations to distribute vaccine in places where it is most needed.
