ORAL CHOLERA VACCINE:
    First licensed vaccine developed
    with Gates Foundation support

Efforts to accelerate the global use of new generation cholera vaccines gained significant momentum with the licensure of a new oral cholera vaccine, Shanchol™ (pictured) in India in 2009.
IVI scientists developed this vaccine, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Government of Korea, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), by significantly modifying a vaccine used and produced only in Vietnam so that it meets international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and WHO production guidelines.
