Which data is inaccurate or missing?

Seven in-use China-developed COVID-19 vaccines that obtained NMPA approval/EUA are listed as follows:

Vaccine	WHO Name	OWID Name	NMPA EUA	NMPA Approval	WHO EUL
BBIBP-CorV	Beijing CNBG - BBIBP-CorV	Sinopharm/Beijing	2020-07-22	2020-12-30	2021-05-07
CoronaVac	Sinovac - CoronaVac	Sinovac	2020-07-22	2021-02-05	2021-06-01
WIBP-CorV	Wuhan CNBG - Inactivated	Sinopharm/Wuhan	2020-07-22	2021-02-25	/
Convidecia	CanSino - Convidecia	CanSino	/[1]	2021-02-25	/
Zifivax	Anhui ZL - Zifivax	ZF2001	2021-03-10	2022-03-01	/
Covidful	IMB - Covidful[2]	IMBCAMS[3]	2021-05-01	/	/
KCONVAC	Shenzhen - LV-SMENP-DC[4]	KCONVAC[5]	2021-05-14	/	/

• [1] Convidecia didn't obtain EUA from NMPA before the approval but only obtained military specially-needed drug approval from PLA on 2020-06-25 which cannot be considered an EUA.
• [2] The older name is IMB - Inactivated.
• [3] Currently are Covidful and IMBCAMS/Inactivated. Suggesting IMBCAMS (Institute of Medical Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) since OWID favored developer-related names (and Inactivated is unnecessary).
• [4] The name is misleading because LV-SMENP is another Shenzhen-developed vaccine that has no update since 2021. KCONVAC is the only Shenzhen-developed vaccine that obtained EUA.
• [5] Currently is LV-SMENP. Suggesting BioKangtai (Shenzhen Kangtai Biological Products Co., Ltd.) since OWID favored developer-related namesKCONVAC.

Why do you think the data is inaccurate or missing?

1. CanSino should be added to China.csv starting from 2021-02-25.
2. ZF2001 should be added to China.csv starting from 2021-03-10.
3. Covidful and IMBCAMS/Inactivated should be combined as IMBCAMS, and mapped to IMB - Covidful and IMB - Inactivated in checks.py and who_config.yaml.
4. IMBCAMS should be added to China.csv starting from 2021-05-01.
5. LV-SMENP should be renamed as KCONVAC in checks.py and who_config.yaml.
6. KCONVAC should be added to China.csv starting from 2021-05-14.
7. IMBCAMS and KCONVAC should be added to china.py.
