Development and production[edit | edit source]
The Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The vaccine uses an inactivated virus, a traditional method that involves growing the whole virus in a lab and then killing it.

Distribution[edit | edit source]
The Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for use in several countries and regions. It is one of the main vaccines used in China's mass vaccination campaign and has also been distributed to other countries as part of China's vaccine diplomacy.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
Common side effects of the Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, and fever. Serious side effects are rare.
