Bandung, W Java (ANTARA News) - DTB-HB vaccine or combo vaccine produced by the pharmaceutical company PT Bio Farma has won World Heath Organization (WHO) recognition on September 19 this year, a spokesman has said.
"DTB-HB vaccine is the ninth vaccine made by PT Bio Farma which has received the WHO recognition. The other eight vaccines produced by PT Bio Farma which have also received a similar recognition are DT, DTP, TT, TT Uniject, Measles 10 doses, Oral Polio 10 doses and Oral Polio 20 doses, and MoPV Type 1 vaccines," PT Bio Farma director Isa Mansyur said here Wednesday.
PT Bio Farma is the second largest vaccine producer in the world which has received so many WHO recognitions after the Serum Institute of India.
DTP-HB vaccine which was produced by PT Bio Farma and administered officially by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in a health campaign held in Yogyakarta in November 2004 could protect people from diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B and whooping cough at the same time.
The achievement would provide a new opportunity for PT Bio Farma which was the only vaccine producer in Indonesia to increase its vaccine exports, Isa said.
PT Bio Farma`ss spokesman Tedi Herawan said vaccines made by PT Bio Farma were used in more than 100 countries.
