Vaksindo inaugurates veterinary vaccine factory in Hung Yen
Vaksindo Vietnam Animal Health Company Limited, which belongs to Indonesian firm Vaksindo Satwa Nusantara, has just inaugurated a modern veterinary vaccine factory at the Yen My II Industrial Park in Yen My District, Hung Yen Province.
As a large-scale investment factory, when Vaksindo Vietnam goes into production, it will provide high quality veterinary vaccines for the domestic market, while also aiming to export to Asian countries and beyond.
A representative from Vaksindo Vietnam said that the veterinary vaccine factory began construction in April 2022 on an area of more than 20,000 square metres and is expected to expand further in the future.
As a GMP-WHO certified vaccine factory, Vaksindo Vietnam applies advanced technology to produce veterinary vaccine products that meet international standards.
When put into operation, the factory will operate five production lines on an area of 9,000 square metres, focusing on cell vaccines, egg-based vaccines and bacterial vaccines.
The factory's key products are designed to meet vaccine needs for pigs, cattle and poultry.
At the inauguration event, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien said that currently, domestic vaccines for livestock produced at GMP standards only meet about 70% of demand.
In that context, the start of operation at the Vaksindo Vietnam vaccine factory is an important event, he noted.
The Deputy Minister expected that Vaksindo Vietnam would soon launch products to meet domestic needs and move towards exporting, with a particular focus on researching vaccines that Vietnam is currently importing.
