AFAIK [1], even Viral Vector vaccines haven't been around for a long time either; just the Ebola one apart from CoVID.
The majority of vaccines prevalent since a long time have either been inactivated or attenuated vaccines.
The only CoVID inactivated vaccines are listed here [2], a couple of them being the ones in China, India and Russia.
