Dr. Ngo Quang also said that volunteers who try the Nano Covax vaccine can purchase health insurance.
Expected this morning, December 17, beginning the first injection andFor 3 people in the 25 mcg dose group. Based on the results of follow-up and evaluation after 72 hours after vaccination in these first 3 people, the dose level and number of participants will be decided next.

According to Prof. Dr. Do Quyet, Director of the Military Medical Academy, where the COVID-19 vaccine trial takes place, this unit and Nanogen have prepared very well for the clinical trial stage. In particular, the safety of volunteers will be the highest priority.
On behalf of the NANOGEN Company, Dr. Do Minh Si, Director of Research and Development of NANOGEN Company, the development unit for Nano Covax vaccines, said that until now, this unit and related parties have prepared to handle the events with great care. unfortunate events that occur. Nanogen hired an insurance company to cover risky situations. The company also deposited a large amount of money in the bank to pay for problems that insurance could not pay.
