The World Health Organisation approved a cervical cancer vaccine from China’s Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co., broadening access in developing countries to a scarce shot that prevents one of the most common causes of cancer.
It is the sixth immunisation from China that has obtained WHO approval and underscores the quality of the country’s vaccine research & development efforts, the country’s National Medical Products Administration said in a statement. “The WHO pre-qualification helps us knock open the doors of international markets,” said Wendy Huang, director of business development at Innovax. “With that comes expedited approvals and orders from developing countries, so that we have the opportunity to bring our products to a broader market.”Many developing countries face delays in getting access to the western shots due to a limited supply of the WHO-backed HPV vaccines.
