JAKARTA - The COVID-19 vaccine made by China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm) can be ordered online by residents of Wuhan and Beijing.

As reported by Antara, Thursday, October 15, students from the two cities who wish to continue their studies abroad have priority to obtain vaccines made by the Chinese state-owned pharmaceutical company.

"We attach great importance to students studying abroad with the hope that they can provide effective, safe and comprehensive protection," a Sinopharm source was quoted as saying by the Global Times .

Apart from students, workers who want to travel abroad and high-risk workers are also a priority for ordering this vaccine.

Chinese students planning to go abroad in November 2020-January 2021 will get the vaccine. Sinopharm seeks to provide vaccines to Chinese students who want to go abroad for free.

As of Tuesday, October 13, 152,000 people have ordered the vaccine and 747,572 others are eager to get it.

On that Tuesday afternoon. online ordering platforms are no longer accessible due to the large number of enthusiasts.

A student who is about to take a master's program abroad admitted to getting a short message after filling out an online form and being invited to a chat group to join 200 other students who are equally eager to get vaccines.

Although we cannot confirm the schedule for emergency vaccination for community groups, Sinopharm has opened vaccine orders since the International Trade in Services Fair some time ago.

Two types of vaccines produced by Sinopharm have entered the third phase of clinical trials in 125 countries.

In accordance with the regulations in force in China, Sinopharm has received approval for emergency vaccine use since July 22.
