About 100 of its 230 foreign students applied within an hour, and family members of some students asked whether they could get vaccinated too. It shows their confidence in the anti-epidemic efforts of the Chinese government and Chinese vaccines, said Xu Hui, vice-president of the university's School of International Education, adding that vaccinations for foreign students will be organized on Thursday and Friday.

The School of International Education at Wuhan Textile University said it now has 12 foreign students in the city, nine of whom applied for vaccination. Six have been vaccinated. Another inoculation will be organized for the three others, it said.

People aged 18 to 59 in Wuhan have been allowed to apply for COVID-19 vaccine inoculation at designated community health service centers and hospitals since March 12, according to local authorities.
