Human trials have started in New Zealand of an experimental Chinese vaccine that showed strong signs of inducing immunity in animal studies. This is the first time a vaccine wholly developed in China had been used in human trials in a developed country.

Vaccine developer Zhu Fengcai, deputy director of the Jiangsu Centre of Disease Control and Prevention, said it was the first time a vaccine wholly developed in China had been used in human trials in a developed country.

Zhu, China’s top clinical trials investigator, said one of the goals was to eventually launch ReCov, the experimental vaccine, in developed countries. In animal studies, the vaccine candidate elicited high levels of neutralising antibodies, an indicator of strong immunity.
