EU drug regulator begins real-time review of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine

Europe’s medicines regulator said on Tuesday it has started a real-time review of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine, based on preliminary results from animal and human trials that suggested the vaccine produces an immune response against the coronavirus.

Data on the vaccine, COVID-19 Vaccine (Vero Cell) Inactivated, will be assessed as they are made available to help speed up potential approvals, the European Medicines Agency said.
