According to details, China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm) has developed the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, Phase-I and –II clinical trials of which have already been successfully concluded in China.
On 15 September, Sinopharm will supply the Coronavirus vaccine to the National Institute of Health (NIH) for Phase-III clinical trials which will start from 20 September.
