REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, HANOI -- Vietnam on Thursday inaugurated its first influenza vaccine manufacturing factory in south central coastal Khanh Hoa Province, some 1,040 km south of capital Hanoi.

Funded by the World Health Organization (WHO), the factory has a capacity of around 1.5 million doses of influenza vaccine a year, reported Vietnam's state-run news agency VNA on Thursday.

The factory project began in 2008 under good manufacturing practice standard known as WHO-GMP. In 2011, the Institute of Vaccine and Medical Biology IVAC produced three lots of influenza vaccine A/H1N1 under national standards which were successfully tested on human in southern Long An Province.

In 2012, IVAC continued to successfully produce nine lots of A/ H5N1 qualifying WHO-GMP which are under tests.

Established in 1978 in Nha Trang of Khanh Hoa Province, the IVAC's function is to research and manufacture vaccines and medical biological products and provide related services and consultations.

يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wahai anak cucu Adam! Janganlah sampai kamu tertipu oleh setan sebagaimana halnya dia (setan) telah mengeluarkan ibu bapakmu dari surga, dengan menanggalkan pakaian keduanya untuk memperlihatkan aurat keduanya. Sesungguhnya dia dan pengikutnya dapat melihat kamu dari suatu tempat yang kamu tidak bisa melihat mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan setan-setan itu pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang tidak beriman.

(QS. Al-A'raf ayat 27)
