Brazil’s federal federal government has halted negotiations about extra doses of Sinovac’s vaccine, CoronaVac, spokespeople for the federal government and its area producer, the Butantan Institute, told The Wall Avenue Journal. The federal government has also reported it won’t suggest use of CoronaVac for a third booster shot.
