News- <\/strong>The article explains the issues related with Kaynasur Forest diseases vaccine<\/p>\n

What are the issues with the KFD vaccine?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The KFD vaccine has faced both regulatory and quality problems<\/strong> for over two decades.<\/p>\n

CDSCO has not given permission to the vaccine manufacturer, the Bengluru based IAHVB since at least 2002.<\/p>\n

Vaccine quality has deteriorated measurably over two decades. It is failing the potency test <\/strong>repeatedly. Potency is closely linked to effectiveness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NIV did not ask IAHVB to stop manufacturing the vaccine despite failing potency tests continuously.<\/p>\n

Studies conducted by the National Institute of Epidemiology have shown that effectiveness of vaccines has dropped dramatically by the mid 2000s.<\/p>\n

What is the contribution by NIV in the fight against KFD?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

NIV scientists were first to isolate the virus from Kaynasur forest in 1957.<\/p>\n

In the 1960s, NIV developed a formalin-inactivated vaccine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It detected the carrier of the virus.<\/p>\n

How did the vaccine come into production? <\/strong>In 1989, the Karnataka government set up a manufacturing facility under VDL Shivamogga. NIV transferred its vaccine technology to VDL.<\/p>\n

In the 2000s , the Karnataka government decided to move the manufacturing facility to IAHVB despite having inadequate infrastructure.<\/p>\n

What is the legal process for vaccine approval?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

CDSCO permits a manufacturer to make a vaccine. It approves both manufacturing methods and quality control tests.<\/p>\n

If a manufacturer releases a vaccine that fails quality control., then it is illegal.<\/p>\n

What are some facts about KFD?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It is deadly disease. But it severely impacts only 5-10% of affected people.<\/p>\n

It mainly affects forest and agriculture workers.<\/p>\n

There is no specific treatment for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
