China has been developing Covid-19 vaccines since the very beginning of the pandemic.

It was the first country in the world to give a vaccine to some of its population in summer 2020.

It currently has 16 different vaccines at various stages of development, but the current front-runners are from Sinovac and Sinopharm.

China has agreed deals with more than 20 countries and has plans to export vaccines all over the world.

BBC Health Correspondent Laura Foster takes a closer look.
