China has included four COVID-19 vaccines in a list of vaccine products available for export, and will support listed manufacturers to export on their own, an official of the Ministry of Commerce told a press conference on Tuesday. 

The four vaccines, which have been granted conditional market approval domestically, are manufactured by Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd., Sinovac Life Sciences Co., Ltd., CanSino Biologics Inc. and Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd. 

The two made by Beijing Institute of Biological Products and Sinovac have already been listed by the World Health Organization for emergency use and have been approved for use in around 100 countries. 

"To ensure the quality and safety of vaccine products and improve trade efficiency, we support listed Chinese vaccine manufacturers to export on their own, concentrate on increasing product supply, stabilize market expectations, and make vaccines available and affordable to all countries, especially the developing ones," ministry official Li Xingqian told reporters.

He said that China will continue to support Chinese manufacturers in strengthening cooperation with COVAX, an international initiative aimed at promoting equitable access to vaccines. 

The ministry will work with relevant parties to assist foreign countries in purchasing vaccines from China, take concrete action to help make the vaccines a global public good, and promote the building of a global community of health for all, Li added.
