China warned the public about advertisements offering the COVID-19 vaccine for $71. According to South China Morning Post's (SMCP), some WeChat advertisements are falsely claiming that products can protect people from coronavirus infection.
"Health care workers and people going abroad can use it on a priority basis," stated in the advertisement.
No comment was provided by the Wuhan institute and its parent company, the China National Biotec Group, regarding the issue. The Chinese company previously said that the vaccine is released to the market yet since it was still in the clinical trial stage.
The ongoing quality problems and scandals have been affecting China's vaccine industry. China has been improving its vaccines' regulations to restore public confidence. A record fine of 9.1 billion yuan or $1.3 billion was imposed on Changchun Changseng Biotechnology, one of the country's biggest rabies vaccine makers, way back in 2018.
