Việt Nam has been transparent, sharing information at each stage of vaccine development with the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and the international community.
ASF vaccine has been licensed for circulation under registration number TWII-171 and certificate of circulation number 538/QLT-SX 22, dated May 18, 2022.
In June this year, Vietnam announced that it had successfully developed a vaccine to administer to pigs to fight African swine fever, with the aim of becoming the first country to commercially produce and export it.
HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): About 750 pigs are reported to have died after being injected with NAVET-ASFVAC, the first home-grown African swine fever vaccine produced by Vietnam, though an agriculture official has refuted claims the deaths are related to the quality of the vaccine.
The German newspaper Agrarheute (Agriculture Today) on July 1 highlighted Vietnam's efforts to develop the world's first safe and effective commercial vaccine against African swine fever (ASF).
