One place where vaccine delivery is already being road-tested is China, which has allowed local developers' shots for emergency use since mid-year. While that program is technically reserved for Chinese front-line workers, such as medical staff treating Covid patients and port employees, Bloomberg spoke to nearly a dozen people who have bent the rules, or know those who have, to get hold of the yet unproven Chinese vaccines. They asked not to be identified, or to just use their first names, so they could talk freely about their experiences, which point to a prevalent practice of working connections and officials to jump the queue. Unlike western frontrunners, the Chinese vaccine makers have yet to release any public data on the efficacy of their shots in Phase III trials, making it difficult to tell how successful their efforts have been. People are seeking them out nonetheless, particularly those headed outside of China, where the coronavirus has been all but eliminated. Paying Bribes "There are substantial opportunities for the vaccine to be diverted to those with connections, " said Rachel Cooper, the London-based director of Transparency International's health initiative.

By mid-October, after presenting her student credentials, she received her first shot at the company's factory in suburban Beijing. She was told not to talk about the inoculation on social media and she said students who did post pictures were asked to take them down. That this is happening in China, which has aggressively contained the spread of Covid-19 since its initial outbreak, may heighten concerns of misappropriation in countries with weak health systems battling higher rates of infection. The pressure on limited supply will likely be acute in neighboring India, which has enormous wealth disparities and the second-worst outbreak globally with more than 9 million infections. Despite tight travel restrictions, advertising for unverified vaccine tours to the U. S. are popping up across Indian WhatsApp groups. Gem Tours & Travels Pvt. Ltd., a Mumbai-based company planning to run such trips for people to receive Pfizer's mRNA shot, told Bloomberg they won't be procuring doses themselves and have yet to nail down travel timings.
"But getting firstly access to all the vulnerable and elderly, the front line workers, is the key. " Given what's happening in China, and the enormous logistical challenges of rolling our a vaccine to the entire world, others aren't convinced it will work out so fairly. Anil Hebbar, who runs a medical equipment firm and volunteered for Astra's Covid vaccine trial in Mumbai after a friend died from the disease, knows people who use forged documents to ride on the city's trains reserved for medical workers. It's not much of a leap for the 56-year-old to imagine that will also happen once vaccines are deployed across India. "Everybody will claim to be a nurse now, or a doctor or hospital worker, " Hebbar said. "Human beings will always circumvent things to their favor.

Many bureaucrats at the ministry have also been given doses, they said. An employee at Bank of China Ltd. said many of their colleagues were vaccinated before traveling to an expo in Shanghai this month. Another at a state-owned technology company said dozens at the firm were inoculated before they hosted a big forum in September. The tech company's employees signed non-disclosure agreements and were only offered jabs before the event. One person said they were able to get access to a vaccine because their parents worked at another state entity. A Bloomberg journalist was even offered CNBG's shot in the course of reporting this story. 'Test Run' Some, like Cheng, simply want protection from Covid-19 -- proven or otherwise -- before they travel. One Chinese student who needs to return to France next month to complete her MBA found a CNBG booth at a Beijing expo in September offering vaccinations to students traveling overseas. "I was told this offer to students headed abroad was just a test run, " said the student, who added that the company made clear the vaccine hadn't been fully approved.
