A representative from VNVC told the Sai Gon Giai phong (Liberated Sai Gon) that the company has completed negotiations on the deal with AstraZeneca – a global biopharmaceutical business of the UK.
AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine was co-invented by University of Oxford and its spin-out company AstraZeneca. This vaccine, recommended for people aged between 18-64, gives high immunity, from 62%-90% at different doses.
Research shows that 100 percent of people who were given the vaccine had the immune response to COVID-19 without noticing any problems related to the safety of the vaccine at different doses.
As of Friday morning, Vietnam recorded 1,957 cases of COVID-19.
