China has produced its first vaccine to gain prequalified approval from the World Health Organization.
The vaccine works against Japanese encephalitis and is manufactured by Chengdu Institute of Biological Products Co Ltd, which is affiliated with China National Biotec Group Co Ltd.
The WHO's stamp of approval for the vaccine's safety and efficacy means United Nations procuring agencies can now source it, according to WHO officials.
