On the eve of publication, the Ministry of Health had announced the purchase of 46 million doses of the same product, which is still in the testing phase and, therefore, has not been launched for application to the general public anywhere of the world.

CoronaVac is developed by the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinovac. The government of São Paulo signed an agreement for the purchase of 46 million doses and the production of the immunizer by the Butantan Institute, which coordinates clinical trials in the country.
