Vaccine production could resume: Anbumani

The three public sector vaccine manufacturing units in the country could be allowed to resume production if their restructuring was possible, Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said on Saturday. Dr. Anbumani told mediapersons that a committee appointed by the Union Ministry of Health would visit the three units to investigate if a restructuring was possible to conform to Indian Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP. (The units are the BCG Vaccine Laboratory at Guindy, Chennai; the Pasteur Institute, Coonoor; and the Central Research Institute, Kasauli.)
