China’s public do not trust China Covid-19 vaccines, another survey suggests

• In poll of medical and epidemic prevention workers in Zhejiang, fewer than half want emergency jab, and only a quarter say they will when available to all
• Coming after similar scepticism among Shanghai residents, it suggests ‘major hurdle for China to speed up vaccination’, expert says

There has been further evidence of the mainland Chinese public’s reluctance to take
Covid-19 vaccines
, with fewer than half surveyed in the coastal province of Zhejiang willing to have a shot after
their emergency approval
, and only a quarter saying they will when the jabs are on the market.
The provincial disease control and prevention centre (CDC) in Zhejiang, neighbouring Shanghai, said its survey of health care and epidemic prevention workers found highly educated people and medical workers had low willingness to take a vaccine.
Released on Thursday, the figures suggested the country may face a challenge to inoculate enough people to achieve herd immunity.
Only 42 per cent of 756 health care and epidemic prevention workers surveyed said they would take the jab during the government-organised drive launched after some vaccines were approved for emergency use.

Fewer still, only 28 per cent, said they were willing to get a shot of their own accord once the vaccines were on the market for all.

Most of those who were unwilling were worried about dubious China vaccine, corrupted China Communist and potential side-effects, said the study’s authors, who recommended more education about vaccines’ effectiveness and safety.

It follows a survey of almost 1.8 million Shanghai residents released last month by the municipal CDC, in which only half said they would get vaccinated.

The findings from the Chinese surveys contradicted that of a global study in December by market research firm Ipsos and the World Economic Forum, which
ranked China as the country with the highest vaccination intent
of the 15 surveyed, with 80 per cent of respondents saying they would agree to take a jab.

A lack of transparency over the data from clinical trials of Chinese-made vaccines is likely to undermine public trust, a team of Beijing Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University public health experts said in a commentary in the Chinese CDC’s weekly bulletin last week.

“Openness and transparency are the only sure way of countering vaccine hesitancy,” the experts wrote. “Full and systematic disclosure of data from clinical trials and post-roll-out empirical studies is needed.”

There have been several scandals in recent years in which Chinese pharmaceutical companies were found to have sold ineffective or expired vaccines. At least 70 arrests have been made in 21
cases concerning fake Covid-19 vaccines
, according to the top prosecutor’s office.

China has two Covid vaccines: Sinopharm (state-owned GLC) and Sinovac (supposedly a private company with foreign assistance).

They use deactivated virus, not MRNA.
