In an interview with local Brazilian media on 14th October, Sao Paulo State Health Secretary Jean Gorinchteyn confirmed that the Brazilian federal government had not appropriated funds to purchase the Wuhan Virus vaccine (CoronaVac) from China.  Clinical trials of CoronaVac are being conducted in Brazil and the Butantan Institute of Sao Paulo State is in collaboration with research and development.

Brazil President Refused to Buy Chinese Vaccine

Brazil, where the COVID-19 epidemic is severe, plans to launch a national vaccination program. The authorities once stated that they would use a Chinese vaccine, but this action aroused public opposition. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that he would not buy the Chinese vaccine.

BBC reported that a Bolsonaro supporter urged the authorities not to buy coronavirus vaccine from Sinovac, a Chinese company, on social media, to which Bolsonaro responded, "We will not buy the Chinese vaccine." He added that the Brazilian authorities have not yet approved the use of Sinovac vaccine.

São Paulo Governor João Doria once said the federal government would include CoronaVac, the vaccine from Sinovac, in National Vaccination Program, and agreed to purchase 46 million doses for the citizen of São Paulo. The vaccination program was planned to begin in January 2021. The Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello said on Tuesday (20 October) that the authorities would buy CoronaVac, but Bolsonaro directly rejected it.

#Brazil Health Regulator Condemns China For Not Being Transparent

Brazil health regulator #Anvisa releases a statement, criticising that China’s health authorities were not transparent and didn’t provide any information of the criteria for the approval of the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccine developed by China SinoVac Biotech Ltd since June 2020.

China's #SinoVac is conducting the phase 3 tests in different locations, such as Brazil, Indonesia and Turkey, but it doesn’t publish any testing result and efficacy of the vaccine.

The vaccine trial had been suspended because one of the volunteers died. After investigation, the authorities claimed the cause of death was "not related" to the vaccine.
