Dear Giorgi,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Sinovac and Sinopharm are in the pipeline to get an emergency use listing from WHO. At the moment we are still awaiting the final information to be received from the manufacturer. As soon as the info will be received we will inform you and the NRA focal point for the EUL will have access to the dossier.
I will schedule a meeting with the NRA tomorrow to discuss in detail how to request access in advance (meaning to sign the CDA) so GEO will get access as soon as the products are listed.
On the question related to AEFI, detailed information will be provided when the vaccine will get emergency approval by WHO.
Thank you
Regards,
Dorina Pirgari

Subject: Access to Sinopharm and Sinovac dossiers for GEO NRA
Importance: High
Dear Dorina,
As we just discussed with Oleg, dossiers of Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccines might be accessible for country NRAs. Could you please kindly let us know if this is the case? And if so, is it possible to help get such access for GEO NRA?
Country may receive Sinopharm by bilateral agreement and Sinovac also might be donated, so this information is critically important for country to have detailed information about vaccine safety and efficacy in advance. If process of granting access takes some time, it would be good to initiate it now.
Main question is regarding so many “very frequent” AEFIs for AZ among vaccinated individuals – how such AEFIs are expected in inactivated vaccines, like Sinopharm and Sinovac. If you also have provide some information on that, it would be most welcomed 😊
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Giorgi
