“The vaccine is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Together with the French institute Pasteur researchers are testing whether the idea works because it could pave the way to a major development of vaccines in the future. The Bulgarian anti-Covid-19 vaccine is very innovative, and besides the Pasteur institute, there are other parties from abroad interested in it as well. Bulgarian-Chinese financing will be sought for the clinical testing and possible manufacture of the vaccine, via the “Scientific research” fund,” Assoc. Prof. Pethova said.
