(Adds timeline for AZ roll out, COVAX)
SANTIAGO, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Chile’s health regulator on Wednesday approved the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use among its population by a unanimous vote of its advisory board.
The approval from the Chilean Public Health Institute (ISP) is for the use of 6.6 million doses as part of a two-dose regime for Chileans over the age of 18 and without an upper age limit.
Chilean trade vice-minister Rodrigo Yanez, in charge of vaccine supply agreements, said four million doses that had been purchased direct from the company would start to arrive at the end of March and be administered until June.
New Zealand, Vietnam, Taiwan responded best to COVID: Lowy Institute
Australia’s Lowy Institute has found New Zealand, Vietnam and Taiwan mounted the best response to the pandemic in the 36 weeks after reaching 100 confirmed cases of the virus.
New Zealand scored 94.4 to top the think-tank’s performance ranking, followed by Vietnam on 90.8 and Taiwan with 86.4. Brazil was at the bottom of the ranking, with the United States fifth from bottom.
China was not included “due to a lack of publicly available data on testing”, the think-tank said. It evaluated 98 countries and territories.
Bringing it together: there are no easy answers for what kinds of countries have done better or worse with COVID. Certain types of countries aren’t doomed to failure or destined for success. Policy + health measures matter, and there’s a lot of nuance in the COVID narrative (7/8)
