Topic B: Galvanizing momentum for universal vaccination in the context of COVID-19
At the initial stage of the COVID-19 vaccination program, the daily doses administered at the national level were
very low (< 4 million before 31 March 2021), and then increased to an average of 4.8 million during April 2021.
The daily doses administered have significantly increased since May, and basically stabilized at more than 10
million since 12 May, 2021. The maximum daily doses administered reached 24.7 million on24 June 2021.
To accelerate the COVID-19 vaccination and achieve immunity in most of the population as early as possible, a
series of measures have been implemented across the mainland of China, including setting up temporary
inoculation points, extending the service hours of inoculation points and even opening night vaccination sites,
and rolling out mobile vehicles and even offering vaccines door-to-door for those with poor geographical access.
more than half of the residents in Beijing and shanghai have been fully vaccinated by June 2021, Priority is given
to areas with higher risks of COVID-19 outbreaks, such as Beijing and Shanghai, which are port cities and have
a large population.
The domestic production capacity is expected to reach 8.9 Billion doses this year and with that vaccine supplies
would be adequate.
Only Beijing and Shanxi established a system to report daily vaccinations. Other information had to be manually
collected through several search engines.
The findings of the PLADs show that China has made great strides in the vaccination speed since the start of
the vaccine roll-out in late 2020.
China has developed plenty of laboratories that developed a vaccine against covid-19, between them we can
find: Sinopharm, which is working on two different projects. The first one was developed in the institute of Beijing,
And de second one was developed on Wuhan. There is a third vaccine called CoronaVac, which was developed
by Sinovac. China also developed two more types one is the CanSino Bio and the other one is the Anhui Zhifei
Longcom.
The Sinopharm vaccine is the one that has been more approved by almost 30 countries including Bahrain,
Guyana, Hungary, United Arab Emirates, Serb, Argentina, Peru, Iran and Indonesia. The CoronaVac was
approved for emergency use in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Indonesia, Laos, Mexico and Turkey.
Mexico, Pakistan and Argentina Have approved the use of the vaccine CanSino Bio.
AnhuiZhife I Longcom has been approved to be used in Uzbekistan.
Serb has already received a delivery of 1.5 million doses and is ready to receive another 500.000 doses.
Cambodia and Egypt has received delivers of up to 300,00 doses at the moment.
Other countries, who have approved the Sinovac Vaccine, have received large amounts of doses such as
Indonesia, who has received 28 million doses at the moment. Chile has received five deliveries according to
Chinese media but it is not clear of how many doses where those deliveries.
CanSino Bio launch has just started and Pakistan has already ordered thousands of doses and Mexico has
order 8 million doses.
In General terms Chinese Industries and laboratories are willing to deliver big quantities of doses of the vaccine,
with any problem.
The Sinovac vaccine is being applied in a lot of countries a few of them are: Brazil, Colombia, Turkey, Ukraine,
Mexico, Philippines and Indonesia
The government of China has worked hardly to help other countries with to understand and improve their
situation during the pandemic and has also helped the Who sharing data and genetic sequence of the virus and
by providing countries with vaccines.
China is a country that is trying Its best to achieve global vaccination by producing vaccines and working with all
countries in need of the vaccine by sending them supplies of the vaccines developed by Chinese laboratories
 Model United Nations: CETMUN XXII
Solutions:
To send more vaccines to al countries that need vaccines to help them achieve total vaccination of their
population. Also, to help each other’s achieve this goal since this is a common problem
Conclusion:
The people’s republic of China is a country that is traying everything to vaccinate its population but also it is
helping by developing multiple vaccines and selling them to a reasonable price and sending them to the country.
