HANOI: Vietnam on Thursday started the first trial Covid-19 vaccine shots on volunteers.
Three people were given the made-in-Vietnam Covid-19 vaccine at the Hanoi-based Military Medical Academy this morning, December 17.
The volunteers were provided with Nanocovax, a Covid-19 vaccine developed by Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC.
Dr To Minh Sy, Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC’s director for research and development, said that the volunteers have to stay at the immunisation room for at least 30 minutes for monitoring. They were instructed how to recognise possible reactions after the injection. The interval between the first and second injection will be 28 days.
