I think the PRC govt have asked for WHO to recognise Sinovac/Sinopharm so that other countries would recognise it. There would then be reciprocity in China also extending vaccine recognition to non-chinese manufactured vaccines. Goes both ways, I guess, since a Chinese person who got sinopharm isnt allowed into France as it's not recognised. We just dont have that population represented on Geo :-) One of my colleagues has to go to the UK, get a 'recognised' vax so that he can go to France.
