Inactivated vaccines inject a \u201ckilled version of the germ that causes a disease\u201d into a recipient to help him or her develop immunity against the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Sinopharm differs from Comirnaty, the coronavirus vaccine offered by the European company BioNTech, created in a partnership with American company Pfizer and Chinese company Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Co. Comirnaty uses new mRNA technology to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-china-55212787\">inject<\/a> part of the Chinese coronavirus\u2019s genetic code into a person\u2019s body. The injection triggers the recipient\u2019s body to produce viral proteins of the Chinese coronavirus. This process subsequently trains the patient\u2019s immune system to attack the Chinese coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>Sinopharm has an efficacy rate of 79 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/feature-stories\/detail\/the-sinopharm-covid-19-vaccine-what-you-need-to-know\">against<\/a> the Chinese coronavirus, according to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.).
