WHO experts have voiced "very low confidence" in data provided by Chinese state-owned drugmaker Sinopharm on its COVID-19 vaccine regarding the risk of serious side-effects in some patients, but overall confidence in its ability to prevent the disease, a document seen by Reuters shows.
There was no immediate reply from the World Health Organization to a query about any concerns linked to the Sinopharm vaccine, BBIBP-CorV. In Beijing, Sinopharm was not immediately reachable for comment outside working hours.

Pfizer and Moderna have also included children as young as 12 years in their clinical trials.
A Covid-19 vaccine developed by China National Biotec Group (CNBG), a Sinopharm subsidiary, is safe in those aged between three and 17, based on clinical data obtained by the company, state media reported on Friday.
“It should be noted that for three to five-year-old children, because their immune system is still developing, they must be carefully and closely monitored during vaccination,” CNBG chairman Yang Xiaoming told Xinhua, without providing further details.
CNBG has two Covid-19 vaccines in Phase 3 clinical trials, both of which have been authorised for emergency use and are being given to limited priority groups at high risk of infection. A Sinovac Biotech Covid-19 candidate has also been authorised for emergency use.
