SEOUL — Cai Qijie is in many ways a normal Chinese student. She's doing a
master's degree in sustainable energy. She likes swimming and skiing and
traveling in Europe.
But the 23-year-old is part of an extraordinary group: those who have
received an early dose of a coronavirus vaccine, not in a clinical trial but
because they are Chinese citizens with overseas plans.

Cai’s province, Zhejiang, opened access to the vaccine this month to high-
risk groups. With her semester’s classes beginning in Milan, Cai applied.
“Of course, I had misgivings in the beginning,” she said, video-chatting
from a coffee shop this week in her hometown, Shaoxing. “But on second
thought, I figured that the vaccination risk should be far lower than
traveling to a hot-spot country. The vaccine would at least provide better
protection.”
Beijing has taken an immense gamble in rolling out coronavirus vaccines
before they are confirmed safe and effective. Hundreds of thousands of
people have already received vaccine shots, state media reported last month.
If serious side effects emerge, China’s government could face backlash at
home and abroad. | T**********s

effectiveness currently represents a substantial danger to the people of
China,” said Howard Koh, who was assistant secretary of health under
President Barack Obama and is now a professor of public health at Harvard
University. “Demonstrating the highest levels of scientific rigor in
completing Phase 3 vaccine trials is absolutely mandatory now for upholding
the future of public health.” | T**********s

global health security at the University of Sydney, says of China’s gung-ho
vaccine rollout. “It is just unsound public health practice. We have
previous examples of where vaccines that have not gone through sufficient
clinical trials have demonstrated adverse reactions with long-term health
consequences.” | T**********s
