The governor of Brazil's São Paulo state Joao Doria said on Wednesday that the state is likely to start to imunize its population with China's Sinovac vaccine in mid-December.

Doria said 5 million doses of the vaccine are expected to arrive in Sao Paulo, the country's most populous state, in October.
