Zydus Lifesciences has received in principle acceptability from World Health Organisation (WHO) for ZyVac TCV. ZyVac TCV is now eligible for purchase by United Nations (UN) agencies. ZyVac TCV is indigenously developed and manufactured at the Zydus Biotech Park, Ahmedabad.
ZyVac TCV is indicated for active immunization against Salmonella typhi infection in the age group of 6 months to 65 years. This prequalification for ZyVac TCV makes it eligible to be part of UN agencies procurement programme. Annually over 150 million doses of the typhoid conjugate vaccine is procured by UN agencies to prevent this infectious disease in geographies where it is most prevalent, such as India, Africa and Southeast Asia.
Zydus Lifesciences (formerly known as Cadila Healthcare) is an India-based pharmaceutical company.
