Two Million Doses of African Swine Fever Vaccine to be Exported to the Philippines by October

Vietnam is set to export two million doses of African swine fever vaccine to the Philippines by October, following the recent approval of domestic commercial use for the vaccine. This significant export agreement highlights Vietnam's emerging role in addressing the impact of African swine fever, a disease that has previously caused substantial disruption to the global pork market. The vaccine, developed for commercial use by Avac Vietnam JSC, has already seen initial shipments to the Philippines.
Initial Shipments of Vaccine Have Already Occurred

Avac Vietnam JSC has already dispatched 300,000 doses of the African swine fever vaccine to the Philippines. These shipments commenced following the vaccine's approval. The government has indicated that this export activity signals considerable potential for future international sales.
Commercial Production and Approval Status

The vaccine destined for export is produced by Avac Vietnam JSC for commercial purposes. Vietnam recently granted approval for the domestic commercial use of two African swine fever vaccines, Navet-Asvac and Avac ASF LIVE. These vaccines were jointly developed by Vietnamese entities and researchers from the United States.
Demonstrated Efficacy in Domestic Trials

Prior to these export plans, over 650,000 doses of these vaccines underwent testing on hog herds across 40 Vietnamese provinces. These trials demonstrated a high efficacy rate of 95 per cent in combating the disease. This success in domestic trials has paved the way for both national deployment and international export.
