According to a recent study in China, the Sinovac vaccine does not produce enough antibodies against the coronavirus omicron strain. According to Report.ge, the South China Morning Post writes about the study.

"Omicron has made Chinese vaccines even more ineffective against the Covid threat. Now the challenge for the Chinese government is to re-engage the population in the vaccination campaign," said Nicholas Thomas, an associate professor at the University of Hong Kong.

According to the publication, a study of samples from 25 people found that after taking two doses of the Sinovac vaccine, none of them had enough antibodies to neutralize the new variant.

However, the study authors note that a third booster dose increases the number of antibodies against omicron.
