July 14, 2021 -- Two Chinese COVID-19 vaccine producers Sinopharm and Sinovac will immediately begin supplying 110 million doses to COVAX－a global vaccine-sharing initiative－in a bid to address critical gaps in vaccine distribution worldwide, the Gavi Vaccine Alliance said in a statement on Monday.

 

In total, China has supplied 500 million doses of vaccines and vaccine concentrates overseas, equivalent to one-sixth of the current global production of COVID-19 vaccine by the end of June.
