Vietnam is taking another step toward producing modern vaccines at home. Vaccine company VNVC and U.S. drugmaker Pfizer exchanged cooperation documents in New York on September 22. The two sides want to strengthen vaccination services and disease prevention in Vietnam. The exchange happened during a visit by Vietnam's top leader to Pfizer. It builds on an earlier agreement the two companies signed in March 2025.
Under that plan, Pfizer shares knowledge to help VNVC build a modern vaccine factory. The goal is to serve domestic demand first and join the global supply chain later. VNVC already runs nearly 300 vaccination centers across the country. Last year, it broke ground on a large plant in Tay Ninh Province. The facility covers more than 26,000 square meters.
