Update news coronavirus vaccine
Vietnam expects to get access to coronavirus vaccine supplies from the United States to support its national COVID-19 vaccination campaign, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long has said.
A vaccine for COVID-19 that is being developed by State-owned vaccine manufacturer VABIOTECH Co., Ltd. could generate relatively high immune response.
World Health Organisation (WHO) Representative to Vietnam Kidong Park has said the Vaccine Alliance wants to invite Vietnam to join in research and production of vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
Company for Vaccine and Biological Production 1 (VABIOTECH) under the Ministry of Health will conduct a second test of Covid-19 vaccine on mice next month.
Vietnam has seen some initial positive results for the test of a locally-made Covid-19 vaccine on mice.
An expert warns there is "nothing more valuable" in the world today than a way to prevent the disease.
