SINOVAC Sabin strain of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine was approved for marketing

The Sabin strain of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (“sIPV”) developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd. has obtained the drug registration approval issued by National Medical Products Administration on July 12, 2021, and it would be supplied to the market within the year.SINOVAC's sIPV is an inactivated vaccine, which may not pose a risk of paralysis (VAPP) throughout the course of vaccination, and the inoculator may not excrete active poliovirus into the external environment through the digestive tract, so there is no risk of morbidity due to the survival and mutation of the vaccine strain in the external environment.Since the beginning of developing sIPV,  SINOVAC has focused on the global polio eradication initiative, applying the world-leading technology and using the international standards to develop and manufacture the vaccine. The vaccine contains no preservatives or antibiotics, thus reducing the risk of occurrence of associated adverse reactions.
