Hi

Is verocell vaccine approved ?

1. The following are accepted.

Vaccines accepted by the Government of Canada for the purpose of travel to and within Canada:


  • AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (ChAdOx1-S, Vaxzevria, AZD1222)
  • Bharat Biotech (Covaxin, BBV152 A, B, C)
  • Janssen/Johnson & Johnson
  • Moderna (mRNA-1273)
  • Novavax (NVX-COV2373, Nuvaxovid, Covovax)
  • Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty, tozinameran, BNT162b2) including for children aged 5 to 11 years
  • Sinopharm BIBP (BBIBP-CorV)
  • Sinovac (CoronaVac, PiCoVacc)
Verocell doesn't appear to be on the list.
 
I dont know for some weird reason, they call it verocell. Its developed by Sinopharm though ,(china) and sinopharm is in approved list.

So I am confused because it doesnt mention verocell explicitly.

Vero Cell is the type of vaccine. It is the manufacturer that Canada approves. as long as you can prove the verocell vaccine was manufacturer by Sinopharm, it will be fine I think.
