Costa Rica rejects delivery of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine, says it is not effective enough
SAN JOSE, June 16 (Reuters) - Costa Rican health authorities on Wednesday said that after studying the available clinical studies they had decided to reject the delivery of Sinovac Biotech's COVID-19 vaccine for the time being, saying it was not effective enough.
Earlier this month however, Uruguay released real-world data on the impact of Sinovac's vaccine among its population that showed it was over 90% effective in preventing intensive care admissions and deaths. (Reporting by Alvaro Murillo; Writing by Anthony Esposito; Editing by Chris Reese)
