China president, Xi Jinping, has promised that his country
would make any COVID-19 vaccine it developed a “global public good”, once it
was put into use.
Jinping stated this while speaking at the World Health
Assembly on Monday.
China has five potential vaccines in clinical trials, as the
world battles to find a solution to the pandemic, that has claimed over 315,000
lives globally.
In his speech, Xi said: “After the research and development
of China’s coronavirus vaccine is completed and it is put into use, it will be
made a global public good.”
According to him, this would be China’s contribution to
achieving accessibility and affordability of a vaccine in developing countries.
Experts say it will take at least 12 to 18 months to develop
an effective vaccine, or an even longer period.
