Suspension of three vaccine firms revoked

Faced with acute shortage of vaccines, the Centre had given its nod for revival of three stateowned vaccine manufacturing units, the Central Research Institute at Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh, Pasteur Institute of India at Coonoor and BCG Vaccine Laboratory in Chennai.

After a calculated assessment and evaluation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had revoked the suspension of licences of these vaccine manufacturing units.

The government had suspended the licences of these vaccine manufacturing units two years ago.

After taking over as Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad appointed Javid Chowdhury Committee to look into various aspects on these three vaccine manufacturing units.

Javid Chowdhury Committee also recommended the revival of these manufacturing units.
