The team pointed out that the previous animal experiments showed that all three vaccines can induce a moderate amount of neutralizing antibodies to prevent the vaccinators from having symptomatic infections or serious complications; however, they may not prevent asymptomatic infections and may still infect other people.

The clinical protective efficacy of the three vaccines is higher than 50% of the WHO minimum requirement, and the side effects are mild.

The team believes that Kexing vaccine seems to be the safest with the fewest side effects; while the BioNTech/Fosun vaccine has better clinical protection effects and is relatively safe.
