The 215,000 square feet production plant was built in recent months specifically for producing a COVID19 vaccine (疫苗) developed by Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech.

The tests are ongoing, but Dimas Covas, president of the Butantan Institute,said Wednesday primary data showed CoronaVac developed immunity in 97% of the people vaccinated after two doses—a level he said was “fundamental to break the chain of transmission of the coronavirus”.
