HCMC – AVAC Vietnam JSC has shipped the first batch of 120,000 doses of the Avac ASF Live vaccine to Indonesia, marking a significant step in Vietnam’s efforts to introduce its African swine fever vaccine to global markets.
The Avac ASF Live vaccine was approved for use by Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture in April 2025, nearly three years after registration. It is imported and distributed in Indonesia by PT. Biotis Prima Agrisindo, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
A representative of AVAC Vietnam JSC said that to date, the company has supplied more than 3.5 million doses of the Avac ASF Live vaccine to the market.
Of this, around three million doses have been used in Vietnam, helping to control African swine fever (ASF) on a large scale, while nearly 500,000 doses have been exported to the Philippines and Nigeria.
The Avac ASF Live vaccine is currently undergoing registration in several other countries, including India, Malaysia, Nepal and Myanmar. To meet both domestic and international demand, AVAC maintains a reserve of around 1.5 million doses, ready for emergency supply.
In Vietnam, the vaccine has been widely administered to pig herds in various provinces such as Cao Bang, Lang Son, Bac Ninh, Hai Duong, Haiphong, Quang Ninh, Quang Ngai, and Tra Vinh, with support from local government budgets.
