Vietnam will promote R&D into new technologies combined with traditional methods to produce a cancer vaccine, according to a government decision.

 

According to a national program to ensure vaccine supplies until 2030 approved by Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam on Tuesday, Vietnam will produce 10 types of vaccine by 2025, including the 5-in-1 vaccine, which is being given to all infants to provide protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), polio and Hib disease (Haemophilus influenzae type B).

 

By 2030, Vietnam will produce 15 types of vaccine, including one to prevent cancer.
