He said that the batch release of vaccines is mainly domestically produced, and China is so far one of the few countries in the world to ensure its vaccine supply without pleading for outside help.

Wang stated that regulatory science, the root for regulatory decision making, is the science used to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products when it comes to their life duration.
