Cameroon Health Workers Doubt Efficacy of Chinese COVID Vaccines

YAOUNDE - Health care workers in Cameroon say they are reluctant to take the coronavirus vaccines donated by China because they doubt the drug's efficacy. 

On Sunday, 200,000 Sinopharm doses arrived in Cameroon's capital. Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute accepted the vaccine donation on behalf of President Paul Biya at Yaounde's international airport, in a ceremony that was broadcast live on state radio and television.   However, the same day in Beijing, a Chinese official said Chinese vaccines provide low protection against the coronavirus and officials are looking for ways to boost the efficacy by mixing them, according to the Associated Press.   In Cameroon, some health care workers are skeptical the Sinopharm vaccine is effective.
