Singapore is reviewing the Chinese Sinovac vaccine for possible use authorization.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines involve injecting snippets of the virus’ genetic material into the body to stimulate an immune response.

In contrast, Sinovac's product is a more traditional inactivated vaccine, which makes use of killed virus particles. This method has been used in vaccines for diseases such as polio.
