The inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine was developed by Navetco Deputy Director-General Dr. Tran Xuan Hanh, able to protect poultry against different avian influenza viruses, including H5N1 and H5N6.
It was tested at the No.1 National Centre of Vet Medicine Control and verified as meeting national safety standards for vet medicines.
