Vaccine and Bio-product Company No.1 is completing the necessary procedures to be licensed by the Ministry of Health to launch a new type of cholera vaccine.

The new vaccine has high levels of anti-cholera, and more than 90 percent of vaccinated people are safe from the cholera virus.

 

The previous vaccine, which had been used in the Hoang Mai and Thanh Xuan districts of Hanoi, could only protect 60 percent of vaccine users. According to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, head of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE), although the price of the newly-produced vaccine is 1.5 times higher than the current one, it is more effective in combating the disease.
