When the COVID-19 epidemic just appeared (nearly a year ago), the Vietnamese vaccine manufacturers expressed their hope to join the race, those who are interested in vaccine prevention opportunities are both happy and worried, because normally developing a vaccine takes 5–10 years. Additionally, there are vaccines that when successfully developed, cost a lot of effort and cost, and put them on the market, the epidemic has disappeared.

Two Phases of Human Testing

Among more than 200 COVID-19 global vaccine developers, 38 have reached human trials, about a quarter of which are currently in large groups of volunteers. November (no later than early December) may have a Vietnamese name on this list: vaccines developed by Nanogen Company (Vietnam) on recombinant protein technology, started to be tested on people at the First Stage.

Vietnam in the past time, there are 4 units involved in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition to the vaccine that is about to be tested in humans, there is also a product that is working on a pre-clinical profile so that it could be in a clinical trial early next year. Mr. Nguyen Ngo Quang — Deputy Director of Department of Science, Technology, and Training, Ministry of Health said the goal is that in the fourth quarter of 2021, there will be a Vietnamese vaccine, which has completed all stages of testing, preparing for the official appearance to serve the vaccination needs.

A Billion Dollars A Year For Vaccines, or…

According to information from the Ministry of Health, Vietnam has joined the coalition to have priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine, right after the vaccine manufacturers’ first hit the market. This alliance can also buy vaccines at preferential prices, but the incentive is still USD $5 per injection. Suppose that if 2 injections are given, each person needs USD $10, so the cost of vaccinating the entire Vietnamese population will be USD $1 billion per year.

However, the above costs are tremendously high and difficult for a developing country like Vietnam. If there is a safe source of vaccines with good preventive effects, domestically produced at a cheaper price, and proactively supplying vaccines for nearly 100 million people, then the opportunity for people to access vaccines will be significantly higher.

These upcoming steps show that Vietnamese vaccine manufacturers are running quite fast, and full of hope.

So Does Software Development in Vietnam

According to Ictnews, significantly, the total revenue of the IT, electronics, and telecommunications industry in the first 6 months of the year is estimated at nearly USD $50 billion, up by 2.2% YoY (Year-Over-Year); in which, revenue from the FDI sector reached USD $47 billion, accounting for 95% of total revenue.
