Brazil's health regulator says it has suspended clinical trials for China's Sinovac coronavirus vaccine, due to a "severe adverse effect" that took place on October 29 but did not immediately provide further details.
Sao Paulo's medical research institute Butantan, which is conducting the Sinovac trials in Brazil, said it "was surprised" by the decision.
The head of Butantan, Dimas Covas, speaking to local broadcaster TV Cultura, said the decision was related to a "death" but said he found the regulator announcement strange "because it's a death unrelated to the vaccine."
