This is an important milestone, as the world's first live attenuated vaccine produced by AVAC Vietnam Joint Stock Company has been approved for circulation in the Indonesian market after nearly three years of registration and review.
The vaccine was officially approved by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture in April 2025, with the authorized importer and distributor in Indonesia being PT Biotis Prima Agrisindo, headquartered in Gunung Sindur, West Java.
Indonesia becomes the third country to officially allow the use of the AVAC ASF LIVE vaccine, after Vietnam and the Philippines.
The export of the first batch to Indonesia is not only a great achievement for AVAC but also an important step forward for the Vietnamese veterinary vaccine industry, affirming its competitiveness in the international market through scientific and technological innovation.
According to Dr. Nguyen Van Diep, General Director of AVAC Vietnam Joint Stock Company, more than 3.5 million doses of AVAC ASF LIVE vaccine have been supplied to the market to date, of which about 3 million doses have been used domestically in Vietnam, contributing to the effective control of ASF outbreaks. Nearly 500,000 doses have been exported to the Philippines and Nigeria, receiving positive feedback.
This product is currently in the registration process in many other countries, including India, Malaysia, Nepal, Myanmar, and other potential markets. To meet domestic and international demand, AVAC maintains a reserve of about 1.5 million doses, ready for use in case of emergency.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said that Vietnam has made great strides in the field of veterinary vaccine development. Vietnam has successfully produced vaccines for many important animal diseases, including avian influenza (Navet - Vifluvac) in 2012, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome in 2015, foot-and-mouth disease in 2018, rabies in 2019, and most recently, African swine fever (NAVET-ASFVAC and AVAC ASF LIVE) in 2022.
