"From the perspective of regulatory authorities, we have taken multiple measures to form a combination of law enforcement supervision and strict supervision.

"Through a variety of effective measures, the safety of the new crown virus vaccine can be fully guaranteed, and a solid foundation for the new crown virus vaccination work can be laid.
