China's Sinovac Biotech will trial its Covid-19 vaccine in children and adolescents in South Africa as part of a global Phase III study, Sinovac and local partner Numolux Group said on Thursday.
The study will evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of the CoronaVac vaccine on children and adolescents, aged 6 months to 17 years, the firms said in a statement. The global trial will enroll 14,000 participants across Chile, the Philippines, Malaysia, Kenya, including 2,000 in South Africa, they said.
The trial has been approved by South African drugs regulator SAHPRA, and the first child will be vaccinated at the MeCRU Clinical Research Unit based at the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University on Friday. “The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of two doses of CoronaVac against confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 cases in children and adolescents ...efficacy will also be evaluated against hospitalisation and severe COVID-19,” Sinovac and Numolux said.
sahpra Do you have results for these “trials” on children yet considering Reuters is reporting that they are not effective against Omicron?
why doing trials in africa ..is africa a lab?
Biotech..... Does it have anything to do with technology?
Why don’t they test it on their children.
Abanyi perhaps? Kunye nalorhulumente🤨
China has enough children to do trial. They have population of more than a billion
Why don't they trial them from their children first. The devil is here in SA.
Some are saying our children are not Guinea pigs for these vaccine trials but they just got vaccinated few weeks ago. But we are not ready for those discussions
Trial?😳
Start with the EFF brigade's children.
Msono wa anc government. Every dumped shit is brought here and they allow it because of money they are getting.
Ngubani ozovuma obobudenge
Why they don't do this stupid trials in their countries,SA will remain a play ground because of our useless government
Wtf.. So our melanin aid resilience is giving then sleepless night..Attempt to reduce our kids'lifespan..i dont vaccinate my kids even for any other stupid illnesses.. Hell come Hell no..
Eish...
Imagine forced to participate in the vaccine trial this government is full of shit. Am not taking any damn jabs
South Africa the rainbow nation and Guinea pig nation. Why not trial in China?
It's a biased and silly headline by a dull caoitalis newspaper. What do you think J&J, Pfizer, Moderna & AstraZeneca have been in SA? These vaccines have all been on trial in adults throughout SA using SAns as guinea pigs. Hence some of us rejected it bc they are on trial in SA.
But why on earth would we need a vaccine for children if their risk category is so low? Let them develop natural immunity now while they are young so that they won't need boosters for the rest of their lives. This is dangerous
Weren't all vaccines a trial 🤔🤔🤔and still are 🤔🤔
Cyril over weight kids should go test it first
Test on the the fcken Chinese
Don’t trust it the Chinese
My children are healthy and do not try to touch them with your trial injection.

South Africa is the world 'New Lab Rat' to test their poison on our children
Oh nkosi i knew this was coming😪

EFF must volunteer their own children. Julius and Floyd were marching for Chinese vaccine anyway.
These should be the candidates for this chinese vaccine
They're now using humans as guinea pigs?
Trial!!!!😨, with our children!!!! Ayanya manje lamachina🤞🏿. We are recovering without vaccine. This is bullshit!!!! Our children aren't lab rats, if politicians allow this to happen then they must sign up their grandchildren first
They should start with Malema

Third world countries
PresidencyZA HealthZA nicd_sa PresidentZuma If the ANC gov't persists with this nonsense without the consent of the parents then the whole covid 19 vaccine programme must be stopped with immediate effect . Communities must take arms to defend their children. VoetsekANC
Why do we allow this nonsense. Our children are not Guinea pigs. China should test on their own children. What’s wrong with our government. Time these stupid men politicians step down and let South African women, ‘mothers’ take over. Grrrrr….🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
