EMA Confirms Rolling Review Of China's Sinovac COVID-19 Vaccine

EU

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has confirmed this morning that it is launching a rolling review of China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine for potential use in the EU.

  • Link to statement: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/ema-starts-rolli...
  • "EMA will evaluate data as they become available to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks. The rolling review will continue until enough evidence is available for a formal marketing authorisation application."
  • So far, the EU has not approved the use of any vaccine not developed in the bloc, the US, or the UK, with approval still pending for Russia's Sputnik V vaccine as well.
  • Some EU countries, notably Hungary, have already begun to use non-EMA approved vaccines, with Sputnik V and China's Sinopharm vaccine already in use in the country.
