The decoding shows that there had been some changes in the genes. Based on the decoding, the institute in southern Ho Chi Minh City was facilitating the production of human H5N1 vaccines.
Last month, the Nha Trang Institute of Vaccines and Biological Products in central Vietnam announced it had turned out 5,000 doses of H5N1 vaccine for humans in labs.
The vaccines yielded good results after being tested on white mice, guinea-pigs and cockerels, the institute said.
It will produce another 5,000 doses of the vaccine in early 2007 for tests at international verification centers.
Vietnam has detected 93 bird flu patients, including 42 fatalities, since the disease hit the country in December 2003.
It has reported no human bird flu cases since late 2005.
Since early December, bird flu outbreaks have been reported in four districts in the two southern provinces of Ca Mau and Bac Lieu, killing and leading to the forced culling of almost 9,100 fowl.
