Serum Institute to seek DCGI market nod for qHPV vaccine against cervical cancer
An official source aware of the development said if the government approves the SII's proposal, then it will save a significant amount of time to include the indigenously developed qHPV in the Universal Immunisation Programme.
New Delhi: The Serum Institute of India (SII) has sought the government's permission to manufacture and stockpile indigenously developed Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (qHPV) vaccine against cervical cancer after the completion of the phase 2/3 clinical trials to ensure its early availability in the country, official sources said on Sunday. The firm will soon seek market authorisation as well as a manufacturing licence from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for the vaccine, they said.
