At present, it has obtained access permits from 47 African countries, and the applicable age of vaccine production covers people over 3 years old; In addition to supplying covid-19 vaccines, Kexing has also promoted many cooperation with African countries in clinical research, localized production, cold chain storage, etc., to help prevent and control the epidemic in Africa.
