Brazil begins to manufacture its own coronavirus vaccine

Brazil's Butantan Institute, a state-run medical research facility, has begun to manufacture the first Brazilian vaccine against COVID-19, ButanVac. "It'll be the first vaccine manufactured entirely in Brazil, without the need to import raw materials," Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria said. ButanVac will be ready to use by July as soon as Brazilian health regulator ANVISA approves it, he added.
