The Ministry of Health has approved the launch of the second phase of the H5N1 avian flu vaccine trial on about 200 volunteers.

The first stage was carried out last year on 30 people including some scientists of the research group and the vaccine, produced by the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, proved safe.

Resurfacing in Asia in late 2003, the virus has infected 399 people worldwide and killed 252, including 52 in Vietnam, according to the World Health Organization.
