HYDERABAD: Leading vaccine producer Indian Immunologicals Ltd (IIL) stated on Monday that the State Drug Control Administration and the Drugs Controller General of India have given their permission for the production of the measles-rubella (MR) vaccine.

The Center for Research and Manufacturing of Vaccines and Biologicals, commonly known as Polyvac, in Vietnam and India formed a relationship that resulted in this, according to the vaccine manufacturer.

As per an exclusive contract, Polyvac will provide the measles vaccine component to IIL and IIL will produce the rubella vaccine component to create a combined MR vaccine. The Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) of India receives a number of different vaccines from IIL in addition to its live attenuated MR vaccine. In thorough human clinical trials, it has been demonstrated that this vaccine is immunogenic and safe for people aged 9 months to 49 years.

"We had modest beginnings with Polyvac in 2016 and worked assiduously all along, even during the challenging Covid-19 era. We successfully finished all product development stages to the satisfaction of the Indian regulatory authorities, "Managing Director of Indian Immunologicals Ltd., Dr. K. Anand Kumar.

Measles is caused by a virus that dwells in the mucus of an infected person's nose and throat and is easily transferred through breathing, coughing, and sneezing. These effects can be serious, sometimes permanent, and include pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage, brain damage, and even death. There is no particular antiviral medication that can be used to treat measles. Measles can best be avoided with immunisation.

The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is a secure and reliable method of preventing measles. Every year in India, measles claims the lives of close to 50,000 kids. Mumps vaccinations are routinely administered in India with the MR vaccine rather than the MMR vaccine since there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that mumps is a disease of public health significance.
