The National Center for Bio-formulas (BIOCEN by its Spanish acronym) located in Bejucal, Mayabeque province began the production of the Heber-NASVAC vaccine to treat Hepatitis C.
Julio Cesar Portuondo, director of BIOCEN, said that the first batches of the drug are being bottled for trial to get a license and certification of good practice, since patients will receive the drug in liquid applications through the nasal cavity.
The workers of Bio-formulas in Mayabeque carry out the process of formulation and filling of the vaccine, which is made industrially for the first time in the country, pointed out Portuondo.
