China says 76 pct of population received complete doses of COVID-19 vaccines
BEIJING - China has given complete doses of COVID-19 vaccines to about 75.6 percent of its population as of Oct. 23, National Health Commission spokesperson Mi Feng said on Sunday.
The country administered 2.245 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines as of Saturday, official data showed. Wang Huaqing, chief expert for the immunization program at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said China would not keep giving people booster shots after booster shots.

"We hope in the future there will be better vaccines and better vaccination procedures to achieve solid protection among the public."
