THE world's first hepatitis E vaccine "Hecolin" is now available on the Chinese market, a pharmaceutical company confirmed yesterday.
The vaccine hit the market after a two-year clinical trial involving 113,000 volunteers in eastern Jiangsu Province.
Developed by Xiamen University and Xiamen Innovax Biotech Co Ltd in southeast China's Fujian Province, the vaccine was approved for production late last year.
At a launch in the city of Xiamen, Gao Yongzhong, general manager of Xiamen Innovax, said the company is working with the government to offer the vaccine to high-risk members of the public and cooperating with international organizations for use abroad.
The hepatitis E virus is shed in feces and spread through water and food. In China, it is the most common type of hepatitis infecting adults.
