Beijing: Chinese-made vaccines for Japanese Encephalitis are expected to be exported by early next year to needy South-East Asian countries, protecting children there from the lethal virus.
“So far, we’ve received an application for JE vaccine support from Laos, and we are still open to applications from other ... eligible countries also burdened by the disease,” Seth Berkley, CEO of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, a public/private global health partnership, said during a visit to the country that concluded on Thursday.
