What’s the explanation for these differences otherwise?
There are a couple of reasons why this might be somewhat unfair to Sinovac’s vaccine. One is that the levels of virus exposure among the trial participants, who were frontline health workers in Brazil, was very high. That means the vaccine had a tougher job to do to protect them. Another possibility is that the Chinese vaccine trial in Brazil may have been picking up much milder COVID cases who might not have registered as symptomatic in the Pfizer-BioNTech trial, for example. A third reason is that the two doses were only spaced 14 days apart. It now looks like if you wait much longer for the second dose you will likely get a better immune response and higher protection.
Does it matter that China's Sinovac COVID vaccine is only 50% effective? - Alliance for Science
Researchers at Brazil’s Butantan Institute in Sao Paolo have announced that trials of the CoronaVac vaccine — made by the Chinese company Sinovac — show it is just over 50 percent effective overall, once very mild cases of the disease are taken into account, which is barely over the threshold...

"Right, any doctor will tell you to get the 1st shot you can"
Not any or all doctors William. I personally know a Doc (personal friend not my doc. ) in Santo Domingo that does not want it and you can see the article below from Forbes regarding front line health care workers that do not want it. I have seen a number of these articles some with up to 50% that don't want it.

Only 6 out of 1,000 people die who get CV19. so you takes your chances (and they are pretty good) by just saying no to a vaccine."Right, any doctor will tell you to get the 1st shot you can"

Bob on Wednesday past it was 80 at 0800 to 1100 hrs. 70 -79 1100- 1400 and 60 -70 at 1400 to 1600. At least that is what was being directed by the "herders" . Do not know the actual protocols of age
In POP it was a limited number of 60+ at 8 AM. When they were done with those 60 or so people, they were done for the day.
I have heard Sosua, GH and Sabaneta have locations for vaccines that were not originally listed.
Well- all opinions differ"Right, any doctor will tell you to get the 1st shot you can"
