Just read news on a Vietnamese website inoculation in Thanh Hoa province results in mass anaphylaxis, among those 5 got serious and 2 of them died. The website down plays the tragedy by not mentioning the vaccine brand, just call it Vero cell. We all know there's only one Vero cell vaccine in Vietnam and it is Sinopharm.

What are you talking about? Vietnam has multiple types of vaccines floating around. For example, last month, the US and South Korea donated more than 1 million doses each to Vietnam:

Did you read my post? Vietnam indeed has many types of Covid-19 vaccines but there's only one type of Vero cell, that is Sinopharm.

Ah I’m an idiot. I didn’t know Sinopharm used Vero cells in its vaccine. I only knew that it was of the inactivated type. Sorry about that.

Aside from that, did the media outlet specify that this vaccine was the only version being distributed in that area?

No, but it did say that the vaccination program carried out in a factory and it was the second shot for them. below is the whole text and Google translate.

So this media outlet either forgot to do its due diligence or purposely didn’t care. Then they labeled it Vero Cell since it’s technically not a brand name of any vaccine but simultaneously hints that the vaccine is from Sinopharm. If I remember correctly, the Vietnamese media hates China, so if Sinopharm screwed up, they would have reported that as fast as possible. In short, I don’t think that vaccine is from China and believe that they are deliberately muddying things up to prevent people from calling them a liar.

Not a vaccine expert.
If story is true and the vaccine is Sinopharm, Western MSM would be having a field day bashing China since its 4 hours past the time the article you provided was published.

Nothing so far.

Does anyone know if there is a good chance Russia will recognize Chinese vaccines next year? Was hoping they do this year because of their worsening situation and China has so far not donated a single dose of vaccine to Russia which is right next door and could affect northeast China very badly if Russia's situation continues to worsen next year.
Russia is mostly likely going to do it due to pride unfortunately. They already tried to pull off a nationalistic stunt through the early release of Sputnik (this name is an indicator of them attempting a nationalistic rally as well), but failed. This case is the type in which I really want to eat my words.

Interesting. I take back my accusation then. I never heard of Sinopharm causing this. I know Pfizer is infamous for having this side effect though. However, the WHO did give a warning on this potential side effect:

Who is the vaccine not recommended for?​

Individuals with a history of anaphylaxis to any component of the vaccine should not take it.

Anyone with a body temperature over 38.5ºC should postpone vaccination until they no longer have a fever.
