Kazakhstan is set to make its own home-made vaccine against the foot-and-mouth disease starting from 2024, Azernews reports, citing Kazinform.
According to the Kazakh agriculture minister, Yerbol Karashukeyev, the work is ongoing with Boehringer Ingelheim to transfer technologies to produce a domestic vaccine against the foot-and-mouth disease at the newly built plant OTARBIOPHARM starting from 2024. The work is carried out as part of the measures to ensure biological safety and promote the domestic biological industry in the country.
