Sutter, The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), first in China, and then Coordinator globally, including in the United States, has drawn attention to the ways in which the Specialist in Asian Trade U.S. economy depends on manufacturing and supply chains based in China. This report and Finance aims to assess current developments and identify immediate and longer range China trade issues for Congress. Andres B. Schwarzenberg Analyst in International An area of particular concern to Congress has been U.S. shortages in medical supplies— Trade and Finance including personal protective equipment (PPE) and pharmaceuticals—as the United States stepped up efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic with limited domestic Michael D. Sutherland stockpiles and insufficient U.S. industrial capacity. Because of China’s role as a global Analyst in International supplier of PPE, medical devices, antibiotics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients, Trade and Finance reduced exports from China led to shortages of critical medical supplies in the United States. Exacerbating the situation, in early February 2020, the Chinese government nationalized control of the production and distribution of medical supplies in China— directing all production for domestic use—and directed the bureaucracy and Chinese industry to secure supplies from the global market. Once past the initial peak of its COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese government appears to have prioritized certain countries and selectively released some medical supplies for overseas delivery.

  • Cansino Receives GMP Certificate for Convideciaž, COVID-19 Vaccine
    CanSino receives GMP certificate for Convidecia™, COVID-19 vaccine 25 May 2021 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau This certification signifies CanSinoBIO's readiness to enter more markets in Europe and globally CanSino Biologics Inc has announced that its recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine, (Adenovirus Type 5 Vector) (‘Ad5- nCoV’, trade name: Convidecia™), has been granted a good manufacturing practice (GMP) certificate by the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition (OGYÉI). The certification was issued on May 21, 2021 after a thorough inspection of CanSinoBIO's production of Convidecia™. The GMP certificate recognises that CanSinoBIO's manufacturing facilities and quality control system comply with the high production standards and guidelines required by the European Union (EU). The EU GMP certification is required to import COVID-19 vaccines into the European Union and is regarded as a recognition of leading industry standards by many authorities outside of the EU. This certification signifies CanSinoBIO's readiness to enter more markets in Europe and globally. CanSinoBIO opened a new vaccine production site in Tianjin, China, with the expectation to produce over 200 million doses of Convidecia™ per annum. It will continue to expand its manufacturing capacity by collaborating with other top-tier pharmaceutical companies in China, including Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co, Ltd, to better meet the growing global demand. In March 2021, CanSinoBIO started the phase I clinical trial of an inhaled version of Convidecia™ immediately after receiving the approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China, marking another milestone in bringing more acceptable, affordable, timely and mass immune protection to the global population and reducing the burden placed on healthcare systems and medial workers..

JOAO PAULO GUIMARAES/AFP VIA Advertisement GETTY IMAGES What’s the future of vaccines linked to rare clotting disorders? Science breaks down the latest By Kai Kupferschmidt, Gretchen Vogel May. 3, 2021 , 4:15 PM Science’s COVID-19 reporting is supported by the Heising-Simons Foundation. Vaccine regulators have delivered a clear verdict: In most settings, the benets of the COVID-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) far outweigh the small risk they will cause an unusual and sometimes deadly clotting disorder. But many questions remain about who is most at risk, how the risk-benet calculus changes when cases fall, and what the side effects mean for the future of these vaccines, which use adenoviruses to ferry the gene for SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein into human cells. A major concern is how the rest of the world will respond to some European countries’ moves to limit the use of the AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines, and the brief suspension of the J&J shot in the United States.

  • Regulatory Science Has COVID-19 Changed the Future Of
    Journal of Regulatory Science Regulatory http:\\journalofregulatoryscience.org Science Journal of Regulatory Science 9(2) (2021) 1–8 Has COVID-19 changed the future of pharmaceutical regulation? Harriet Edwardsa,∗ aAlbumedix Ltd., United Kingdom Abstract COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2, has undoubtedly changed the world as we know it, affecting daily life, health, and economics to an unprecedented degree. Due to the widespread and devastating impact of this previously unknown virus, there has been a massive effort from the pharmaceutical industry to rapidly develop a vaccine to protect the population. As a consequence of the increasingly evolving threat of COVID-19, developers and regulators have had to respond accordingly, learning about the virus while attempting to develop and regulate treatments concurrently. As if this task was not complex enough, developers and regulators have had to face this challenge while simultaneously tackling arguably the largest widescale media attention and pressure that has ever been felt by the industry, with mainstream media, politicians, and the general public all having a vested interest in the development of the vaccines and an opinion on how they should be developed, distributed, and monitored. It is therefore a true testament to developers and regulators alike that many vaccines have already been authorized for use (or are about to be) in so many countries and territories across the world, in record time. However, this success brings many questions as to why other medicines have not been regulated at such speed before and whether the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have received ‘special treatment’, with many posing the question: ‘are these vaccines actually safe?’.
