BEIJING - The efficacy of Covid vaccines in China is low, the nation’s top disease control official has admitted.

Beijing has developed four different vaccines approved for public use, though some trials abroad had suggested efficacy as low as 50%.

In what the BBC describes as a “rare admission of weakness”, Gao Fu, head of the Chinese Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, said the current jabs “don't have very high rates of protection”.
