The shot already has emergency authorization in China and has been administered to hundreds of thousands of people there in recent months.The 86% efficacy rate for one of China’s leading vaccine efforts ranks among the most effective the world has seen, making it a potentially more favorable option to vaccinate large swathes of population in the developing world than front-runner Western efforts.The Chinese shot can be transported and stored at normal refrigerated temperatures, easing distribution challenges in nations lacking deep freeze facilities and trucks required for mRNA vaccines from Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc., which showed higher efficacy of over 90%.</blockquote>
