Vietnam Vaccine JSC launches high-quality healthcare shop chain

Vietnam Vaccine JSC (VNVC), well known for its vacciation services, on Saturday launched its VNVC Shop, a chain offering safe, high-quality healthcare products from globally recognized brands.

According to Vu Thu Ha, supply director of the vaccination system at VNVC, said the VNVC Shop units are located in the post-vaccination monitoring areas at its vaccination centers.

This allows customers to explore products while waiting, all without compromising the safety standards of the vaccination process.

Initially, VNVC Shop will offer nutritional and healthcare products for both children and adults from internationally respected brands such as Nestlé Health Science, Asahi Group (Japan), and Ecogreen (U.S).

The rollout will begin with six booths across Vietnam’s three main regions - north, central, and south - before expanding to all VNVC centers nationwide.

Strategic partnerships to support community health

Back in September 2024, VNVC signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Asahi Group Foods, a member of Japan’s Asahi Group. This partnership lays the foundation for scientific research and public education on nutrition, helping improve access to premium Japanese nutritional products.

Katsuaki Ishii, managing director and senior expert of Asahi Group Foods' baby food division, said that besides offering high-quality products, Asahi aims to support parents with practical knowledge and nutritional skills, especially during the weaning stage, tailored to local conditions in Vietnam.

Zubin Trikha, head of specialty nutrition at Nestlé Health Science Vietnam, added that combining preventive medicine with science-based nutrition is essential to building a strong immune foundation - especially for children and the elderly.

Along with age-specific nutrition products, Nestlé Health Science Vietnam is developing digital tools to help users assess their nutritional status and receive personalized meal plans and guidance, said Trikha.

Thi Hoai Phuong, sales director of ECO Pharmaceutical Company, the exclusive importer and distributor of Ecogreen products from the U.S., noted: "Being present at trusted locations like VNVC makes it easier for the public to access safe, high-quality health products at reasonable prices."

Sanofi will transfer vaccine production technology to a Long An province-based factory of Vietnam Vaccine Joint Stock Company (VNVC), whose construction began on May 27 this year.

The facility - VNVC Vaccine and Biological Products Factory - marks a step toward realizing the partnership agreement on technology transfer for vaccine production in Vietnam between the two sides.

The agreement was inked by VNVC general director Ngo Chi Dung and president of Sanofi Southeast Asia-India Zainab Sadat Qayyum in Hanoi on May 26. The signing took place within the framework of the state visit to Vietnam by French President Emmanuel Macron from May 25-27.
