The Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine, also known as BBIBP-CorV,[3] the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine,[4] or BIBP vaccine,[4][5][6] is one of two inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccines developed by Sinopharm. It completed Phase III trials in Argentina, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with over 60,000 participants.[7] The BIBP vaccine shares similar technology with CoronaVac and Covaxin, other inactivated virus vaccines for COVID-19.[8]

Peer-reviewed results published in JAMA of Phase III trials in United Arab Emirates and Bahrain showed that the BIBP vaccine is 78.1% effective against symptomatic cases and 100% against severe cases (21 cases in vaccinated group vs. 95 cases in placebo group).[9] In December 2020, the UAE previously announced interim results showing 86% efficacy.[10] While mRNA vaccines showed higher efficacy of over 90%, those present distribution challenges for some nations as they require deep-freeze facilities and trucks. BIBP-CorV could be transported and stored at normal refrigerated temperatures.[11]

The BIBP vaccine is being used in vaccination campaigns by certain countries in Asia,[12][13][14] Africa,[15][16][17] South America,[18][19][20] and Europe.[21][22][23] Sinopharm was expected to produce one billion doses of the BIBP vaccine in 2021.[24] On 7 May 2021, the World Health Organization approved the vaccine for use in COVAX.[13][25]
