The existing data prove that its protective efficacy meets the relevant standards and requirements of the World Health Organization and the NMPA. By January 9, more than nine million doses of this vaccine had been administered. The vaccination is conducted entirely on the premise of voluntary application and informed consent. Taiwan compatriots are free to choose whether or not to get inoculated with the vaccine."
