Two inactivated COVID-19 vaccines for the Omicron variant developed by China National Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (Sinopharm) have been approved to start clinical trials in Hong Kong.

Sinopharm had immediately established a task force to carry out research into and development of an Omicron vaccine after the outbreak of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.

It also worked together with the University of Hong Kong and applied for clinical trials as soon as the vaccines were developed.
