Counselors of CIE helped to coordinate the whole process to make sure everything goes on smoothly.
International student Broome Rachel Hannah from Barbados said: “This is so valuable an opportunity that I registered for the vaccine as soon as I saw the notice. I’d like to thank our university and Chinese government to offer this precious opportunities to us. And I want to tell other international students that don’t worry about the quality of the vaccine, China’s vaccine is totally safe and reliable.”
International students Dube Kelvin Errol Tinashe from Zimbabwe said in fluent Chinese: “Chinese doctors are superb professional and very kind to international students. I thought the injection would hurt, but to my surprise I did not feel a thing after receiving the vaccine. Now I have more confidence in our university and also I am very grateful to it.”
International student Jamjam Sitti Fatma Binti from Malaysia said: “I feel safe here in China, for the Chinese government is highly productive in preventing and controlling COVID-19, and now they offer people here inside China vaccine which could safeguard oneself and protect others at the same time.”
