The last 22 volunteers received the second shots, with two receiving the 50mgc dose, and 20 getting the 75mgc dose. Experts said Nano Covax has proven safe and effective against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, even its new variant. Most of the volunteers are in stable conditions after vaccination. Only few had light injection site pain and fever that disappeared after one to two days. The objective of the first phase is to evaluate the safety of the vaccine, developed and manufactured by HCM City-based Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology JSC. Nearly 400 people have registered for the second phase that is expected to last for six months, during which 560 volunteers will be injected.   The third phase will see the engagement of more than 10,000 volunteers, beginning from August. If the result is good, Vietnam would administer the vaccine to the public in early 2022./. VNA …

Quang emphasised that the Nano Covax vaccine produced by the Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Company proved to be safe during the first phase of human trials. In the second phase, two groups of volunteers will be testing two doses of the vaccine, including a 50-microgram dose and a 75-microgram dose. During the initial phase, volunteers were injected with three doses of the vaccine, including 25mcg, 50mcg, and 75mcg doses, recording positive immunogenicity. After initially being launched on December 17, 2020, the clinical trial of the first phase of Nano Covax vaccine deployed by the Military Medical Academy has been completed. Almost all volunteers were in a stable health condition following the trial, with a few cases showing signs of a mild fever, although this symptom abated after a few days. …
