The World Health Organization expects to release its assessments for emergency use listing of the two main Chinese vaccines for COVID-19 as well as the Moderna shot by the end of next week, WHO Assistant Director-General Mariangela Simao said on Friday.

Simao said the WHO's independent panel was assessing the Moderna vaccine and a vaccine from China's Sinopharm on Friday and was due to look at China's other main vaccine, made by Sinovac Biotech, next week.

WHO emergency use listing is a signal to national regulators that a vaccine is safe and effective, and would allow those vaccines to be bought and distributed by COVAX, the international program to share vaccines for poor countries.Simao said it was important to have more vaccines available because of supply problems for other shots, including from India, a main source of vaccines for COVAX which has restricted exports because of a surge in domestic cases.

What Canadians should know about each authorized COVID-19 vaccineCanada is expecting to receive more than two million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines each week through June, and an additional one million doses from Moderna next week. Your link is to a video critical of Alberta Covid response. Not info on Covid vaccines. Mythinformation. No lisp. Canada's population is less than 39 Million. We will donate leftovers. With Gain-of-Function, I could assume the COVID virus will become more resistant to vaccines, more deadly and more transmissible! If the level 4 lab in China has the research already complete, or in motion, do we not need to see those documents?
