Health Minister of Belarus Dmitry Pinevich (on the photo) announced that by 2023 the home-grown vaccine made in Belarus would be released for mass use. This information was made public when the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko visited the high-tech biological industry enterprise called “BelVitunipharm” on August 12, 2021. This production site is where the domestic vaccine against coronavirus disease is being developed.
Minister of Health Dmitry Pinevich explained that (according to the local system) vaccine development work consisted of three stages: the laboratory stage, experimental-industrial stage and industrial stage. It was decided that the experimental-industrial stage for vaccine production would be jointly carried out by BelVitunifarm and another local pharmaceutical company, Belmedpreparaty. Instead of creating and building a separate enterprise, the Ministry of Health of Belarus approved the creation of a joint venture based on existing industrial resources that meet the highest quality criteria for this purpose.
