On October 28, subjects aged 6 to 35 months were recruited in South Africa and 200 volunteers were successfully enrolled in the Phase III clinical trial on December 20. No Grade-3 or above adverse events were reported. As of December 22, nearly 4,000 children in South Africa have participated in the trial with zero reported severe adverse events.
This follows several countries – including Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Colombia, Cambodia and Indonesia – approving the use of the SINOVAC COVID-19 vaccine for children of varying ages since September.
On June 28, the Lancet Infectious Diseases online published the results of Phase I/II clinical studies of CoronaVac® in healthy children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years in China with results showing good safety and tolerability, and a strong humoral immune response.
On July 19, SINOVAC released the results of its world-first immunity persistence study of 180 individuals 3 to 17 years of age. It showed a 100% neutral antibody-positive conversion rate. The geometric mean titer (GMT) remained at a high level 28 days after the second dose, as well as another 3 months afterwards, which indicated that CoronaVac® induces stable and good immunogenicity.
