Sputnik V is not a traditional method either. It is different form mRNA, but both are relatively new on the vaccine scene.

No traditional vaccine has finished phase-3 trials anywhere. Everything is something fairly new.

According to the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine both CoronaVac and Covaxin are traditional "inactivated virus" vaccines, and both have finished Phase 3 trials; CoronaVac is already being applied by the government here (started last month, so far only health workers and elderly above 90 years old), and IIRC there have been talks of bringing Covaxin to be applied by private clinics.

I stand corrected.
