Four local firms are taking steps to produce at least five vaccines, including the combined 5-in-1 and 6-in-1 shots, that are in great demand in Vietnam under a large project, according to the head of a company affiliated with the Ministry of Health.

This project is one of the national product programs run by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Do Tuan Dat, director of the Vaccine and Biological Production Company No. 1, said in a recent interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.

Under this project, at least five vaccines will be produced, including a Vi-rEPA typhoid vaccine, a Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine made in Vero cells, a hepatitis A vaccine made in diploid cells, a 5-in-1 vaccine (against five diseases: polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib)), and a 6-in-1 vaccine (for the preceding five diseases plus hepatitis B), Dat said.
