Sinopharm BIBP vaccine
The Sinopharm BIBP vaccine is a COVID-19 vaccine developed by China's Sinopharm group. It uses an inactivated virus, which means the virus particles have been killed so they can't cause illness but can still trigger the immune system to respond. When vaccinated, your body learns to recognize and fight the real virus if exposed later. It's administered as two doses a few weeks apart and has been shown to reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization from COVID-19. The vaccine is part of global efforts to control the pandemic, especially in regions with limited access to other vaccine types.
