Vietnam resumes use of swine virus-contaminated vaccine
Last updated: 7/20/2010 11:05
The Drug Administration of Vietnam Monday announced that the use of a British-produced diarrhea vaccine will be resumed nearly four months after it was halted due to contamination of a swine-based virus.
The resumption follows GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) reporting that studies of the vaccine Rotarix TM, which was found containing the DNA of the PCV-1 virus living in pigs, had found that it was safe for use.
