Pakistan develops homemade anti-Covid vaccine 'PakVac'

[Baby Leone]

MOD EDIT:
Thanks to lazy a$$ pakistani media for incorrect reporting of facts. Chinese made COVID19 Vaccine "CanSino" is being produced locally at NIH, Islamabad. Cansino is being made from imported raw material under and manufactured under license.
In a major achievement in its fight against the novel coronavirus, Pakistan on Monday announced that it has developed a homemade vaccine — PakVac — with the help of China's Cansino Bio after rigorous quality control checks.

The step is aimed at significantly reducing Pakistan’s dependence on other countries for Covid-19 vaccine.

The country started its vaccination campaign in February with doses donated by the government of China. The campaign started with frontline healthcare workers and then inoculation of the senior citizens in the second phase.

Pakistan has now started the vaccination of people aged 30 and above. Over five million people have been vaccinated against Covid-19 in the country so far.

He said that the vaccine has passed rigorous internal quality assurance testing, considering it an important step to help the vaccine supply line.

An official from the Ministry of National Health Services has said that due to the agreement on technology transfer, the NIH would be able to produce three million doses per month.

NHS had announced that the first batch of China’s single-dose CanSino Covid-19 vaccine would be available for administration to the citizens by the end of May.

"The first batch of bulk CanSino vaccine is being processed at the National Institute of Health’s plant, which was set up for this purpose last month, and a specially trained team is working on it," the official said earlier this month.

Pakistan hasn’t developed anything. It simply manufactured the Chinese vaccine and switched the name to PakVac. After the Chinese side wasn’t impressed, they switched back to the original Chinese name for the vaccine.

If Pakistan was a student in school, it will get F for plagiarism.

Pakistan to change name of locally-developed Covid-19 vaccine to CanSino Bio

The National Institute of Health (NIH) is considering reverting to using the name CanSino Bio for the Chinese single-dose coronavirus vaccine being produced at the institute.

120,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been packed at the NIH, while a launching ceremony is expected to be held by the end of May. For the first batch of 500 doses, the NIH used PakVac, but now it is considering using the name CanSino Bio on the remaining vaccine batches.

"There has been a change of mind and the vaccine would be called CanSino Bio as the Chinese are sensitive about the names of their products," an official of the NIH

I think if it's a brand new vaccine it'll have to go through Phase1, 2 and 3 trials which take about 8 months.

 

[Varunastra]

Sounds a lot like SinoVac, is it by design?

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Misleading thread title Pakistan didn't developed vaccine but take the license and technology from Chinese farm to manufacturing COVID19 vaccine inside Pakistan. Changing Chinese name to PacVac doesn't mean developing vaccine.

 

[VkdIndian]

It’s good that Pakistan will produce the vaccine within Pakistan. It would be better than procuring it from outside.

But why a misleading heading of “developing” something while it is being license produced?

I am sure people will claim that they have just posted the news article as such. If the news portal has put a misleading heading the poster should make corrections if required.
Unless the intention is not as pious as claimed.

Pakistan should start vaccination for 18+ . Youngsters want to get vaccinated, they are not like these old uncles and aunties who are creating, propagating and believing conspiracies. Instead I think government should announce that it will stop vaccination drive for 35+ age group after November. Let them be killed . We will have less idiots.

 

[Bouncer]

Government/NCOC have been very clear from the start that its a Chinese vaccine that is being packaged from imported concentrate at NIH locally. Its our pathetic journalists that used the word "developed".

On topic; I think its a good strategy. Low cost and efficient way to vaccinate a significant part of the population. Some 5 million people have already received at least one dose of different vaccines to date. And this plant will produce some 3 million doses per month (single dose) so we are looking at covering at the very least 20~25% of our population in next few months, including the vaccines coming in from COVAX.

Pakistan should start vaccination for 18+ . Youngsters want to get vaccinated, they are not like these old uncles and aunties who are creating, propagating and believing conspiracies. Instead I think government should announce that it will stop vaccination drive for 35+ age group after November. Let them be killed . We will have less idiots.

19+ age group has been allowed from today. This is what I like about this Government team; they are on their toes on this one. Data driven decision making and using technology. You simply send your CNIC to a short code and they check your eligibility, location etc and suggest your nearest vaccination center with a code. You show up with you CNIC and the code and you get the shot.
