QazCovid-in, commercially known as QazVac,[1][2] is a COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems in Kazakhstan.[3][4][5] QazCoVac-P is a second COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Kazakh Biosafety Research Institute and in clinical trials.[6]
Clinical research[edit]
QazVac is currently in Phase 3 (III) of the Clinical Trial, which is expected to be fully completed by 9 July 2021.[7][8] It is unclear when the first preliminary results will be published.[9][10]
The administration of the vaccine for the general population began at the end of April 2021.[11] The Research Institute Kunsulu Zakarya's Director General's justification is that the trial is almost 50% completed and "people who have received [the] vaccine feel well; there have been no side-effects and the effectiveness of the vaccine is high".[12]
Production[edit]
The vaccine was first manufactured by Kazakhstan's Research Institute of Biological Safety Problems. Production capacity has been capped at 50,000 doses per month.
Beginning in June 2021, the vaccine is slated[13] to be packaged in large bulk to be bottled in Turkey by a major Turkish company.[14][15] This will allow for a production capacity of 500,000-600,000 doses per month.[16] The contract is still being negotiated,[17] despite earlier claims that suggesting the deal had already been finalized.[18][19]
Vaccine innoculation[edit]
The first batch of 50,000 doses was delivered on 26 April 2021, and vaccination began shortly after.[20] In June 2021, the capacity will increase to 100,000 doses per month, regardless of the contract for bottling in Turkey.[21]

Characteristics[edit]
