China raced to vaccinate its most vulnerable people on Thursday in anticipation of waves of COVID-19 infections, with some analysts expecting the death toll to soar after it eased strict controls that had kept the pandemic at bay for three years.

The push comes as the World Health Organization also raised concerns that China’s 1.4 billion population was not adequately vaccinated and the United States offered help in dealing with a surge in infections.

“We are ramping up the production of medicines and test kits. Overall, this can fulfill the (nation's) needs. Currently, more than 90 percent of people in China have been vaccinated, this is considered a high level in the world,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Thursday.

Beijing last Wednesday began dismantling its tough ‘zero-COVID’ controls, dropping testing requirements and easing quarantine rules that had caused mental stress for tens of millions and battered the world’s second-largest economy.
