Polio Vaccine

Beginning, in March 2024, pharma major Sanofi India will discontinue the manufacture of polio vaccine ShanIPV. The announcement was made in a public notice. Observers said this could create havoc as Sanofi is one of the largest suppliers of ShanIPV. Meanwhile, the company has made necessary regulatory submissions for the approval of a product with a similar composition. Moreover, talks are underway between the company and the Government.
