To realise such goals, the programme sets the tasks of completing the legal framework and mechanisms in the field, encouraging research and international cooperation, the application of advanced technologies, and the establishment of capable research teams, among other works.
Human resources development and investment in upgrading related research equipment are also listed among support activities under the programme.
Per the programme, organisations and firms participating in vaccine research and technology transfer will be subject to preferential policies like those applied on prioritised high-tech products.
Meanwhile, regarding vaccines for epidemics prevention and control, their costs of research, testing, pilot production, assessment, buying insurance, and assisting volunteers are 100 percent subsidized./.
