"Advancements in TB Vaccine Trials: Progress in India and South Africa"

Bharat Biotech has initiated clinical trials of MTBVAC, a potentially more effective TB vaccine derived from a human source, in India. The vaccine, developed in collaboration with Spanish biopharma player Biofabri, aims to provide better protection against tuberculosis for newborns, adolescents, and adults. MTBVAC is designed to be more effective and longer-lasting than the existing BCG vaccine, particularly in preventing pulmonary TB. The clinical trials in India mark a significant step in the global effort to develop improved TB vaccines, with the potential to address the high burden of TB cases in the country.

GAVI to Launch 18 Million Malaria Vaccine Doses in Africa

Gavi, the vaccine alliance, has announced that twelve African countries will receive 18 million doses of the world's first malaria vaccine over the next two years. Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute of India will manufacture the vaccines. Malaria is a leading cause of death in Africa, and these vaccines will play a critical role in saving lives. The vaccine supply will initially be limited, with priority given to areas with the highest risk of malaria illness and death among children. The vaccines will be introduced into routine immunization programs in these countries for the first time, starting in early 2024.
