It is worth mentioning that earlier in November the WHO has granted approval for Emergency Use Listing of Covaxin and said that the Bharat Biotech’s vaccine was found to have 78 percent efficacy against the COVID-19 of any severity, 14 or more days after the second dose.
Saudi Arabia approved vaccines are;
- Pfizer-BioNTech
- Moderna
- Oxford-AstraZeneca
- Johnson & Johnson
- Sinopharm
- Sinovac and
- Covaxin.
In recent days, Covaxin has been recognized by several countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Bahrain, Oman, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, among others. It is expected to rise in the coming days.
