Vietnam aims to master production technology of 10 vaccines by 2025
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has signed Decision No. 1654/QD-TTg approving the national key science and technology program on research and production of vaccines for humans by 2030, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The program focuses on researching and applying advanced technologies to produce high-quality vaccines for humans. It also aims at improving capacity of domestic vaccine researchers and producers, an effort to respond to possible pandemics emerging in the future.
All domestically produced vaccines are expected to meet international standards and may compete with their equivalents on the international market.
By 2025, the country is expected to master production technologies of 10 vaccines, and in fact produce at least 3 vaccines domestically. 5 years later, Vietnam need to master production technologies of 15 types of vaccine and produce at least 5 ones.
