About VTC
The Vaccine Trial Centre (VTC) is a clinical research centre, set up in the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, in 1984. The Center became fully operational in the third quarter of 1986 and the first volunteer was admitted on November 3rd 1986. The VTC is the first and only clinical trial facility in Thailand, where the efficacy of newly developed vaccines against different infectious diseases is evaluated in human volunteers. Evaluations of new vaccines are conducted in terms of reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy against infectious diseases prevalent in the area. The three disease groups initially identified for vaccine trial studies are diarrheae diseases, malaria, and viral infections (including HIV).
