Brazil to Make Influenza Vaccine
Brazil to Make Influenza Vaccine
Brasilia - Brazil's National Health Agency (ANVISA)
authorized production of a vaccine against
the influenza A (H1N1). The resolution on
Diario Oficial de la Union daily says the
developer must have a license from ANVISA to
produce the vaccine from the virus of
influenza A (H1N1).
Brazilian epidemiologist Expedito Luna said
the Butantan Institute of Sao Paulo,
developer of 80 percent of the vaccines used
in Brazil, is collaborating with the World
Health Organization in the research.
He added that if the chosen strain is
approved, the lab will start cultivation and
run field tests in a period from four to six
months.
If the vaccine is finally developed, said
Luna, the Butantan Institute has the
conditions to engage in large-scale
production and even export the product.
