Pfizer's vaccine sale

PFIZER Inc is said to have sold its swine vaccine business in China to Harbin Pharmaceutical Group.

Harbin Pharmaceutical has paid US$50 million for these assets, Reuters said, citing an unnamed source close to the deal.

A communications official from Pfizer yesterday said the company "did sell some of the animal health operations in China recently," but didn't give further details.

Pfizer will sell its China operations to manufacture its RespiSure and RespiSure-One swine mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (MH) vaccines to Harbin Bio-Vaccine, an animal health unit of Harbin Pharmaceutical.

The divestment is said to be connected to Pfizer's US$68 billion merger with Wyeth, as China's Ministry of Commerce ordered Pfizer to sell its local business citing anti-monopoly regulations, Reuters said.
