These include the expanded immunisation programme, vaccines used for service immunisation and for epidemic disease prevention and control. By 2025, Vietnam will master technology to produce 10 types of vaccines, produce at least three vaccines, including 5-in-1 vaccine against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, Haemophilus Influenzae (Hib) and either polio or hepatitis B. By the 2030, the country is expected to master production technology for 15 vaccine types and able to produce five types that are comparable to international-standard ones. Other suggestions include improving infrastructure to develop vaccine sci-tech and innovation centres, adopting new technology to produce vaccines against cancer, as well as combination vaccines.
