Taiwan has rejected an application for the emergency use of UBI Pharma's (6562.TWO) COVID-19 vaccine candidate, the government said on Monday, though the president said she would get a separate domestic shot in a show of support for the scheme.
The health ministry, explaining the rejection of the request for emergency use authorisation , said the antibodies triggered by UBI's candidate did not match up with those of the AstraZeneca vaccine.Health Minister Chen Shih-chung expressed regret that the EUA had not been granted. "We still have to follow certain standards," he told reporters.
In June, the company had said it would seek an EUA in Taiwan and that Phase II tests showed no major adverse effects for its candidate, which, it said, generated a good immune response. Later, Tsai said Taiwan would strictly scrutinise the process according to global scientific norms and put safety first.
