Chinese Rush to Be Vaccinated after New Outbreak: Journal

More people across China rushed to receive Covid-19 vaccines after a resurgence of cases was reported in Anhui and Liaoning provinces, with people in Anhui's capital Hefei lining up late into the night in rain, the Global Times reported. China has had low inoculation rates, with 10 of the 31 provinces not reaching the country's average rate of around 14 percent, as many felt the virus had been well contained, the newspaper said. China, with a population of 1.4 billion, had administered just over 390 million doses as of May 16. The recent resurgence may have originated in the port city of Yingkou in Liaoning, and has links to imported cases, the newspaper said.
