Shantha Biotechnics announced that it will be resuming the supply of its pediatric pentavalent vaccine Shan5 to World Health Organization.

“We received a setback in 2010 due to sedimentation issues with the vaccines and WHO withdrew the prequalification in 2010. Losing the prequalification was indeed a pressure on us but now we have come out of it with a commitment for a better product. We have done the largest clinical trial of the vaccine with 1,100 infants and 11 medical school study centres across India”, the CEO of Shantha Biotechnics, Harish Iyer said.
