Junta claims Myanmar has developed a COVID-19 vaccine with China’s help

The military regime says that a COVID-19 vaccine called Myancopharm will be produced with Chinese help, according to a 14 March report in the state-run Kyemon Newspaper.

The report said that the drug was developed in collaboration with China's Sinopharm CNBG Pharmaceutical Plant in July, 2021 and that it would come in bottles containing five doses.

In addition to transferring vaccine production technology, it says China also provided two experts to provide training in vaccine production and production supervision.
