The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has issued a notification reducing the time limit for influenza vaccine batch release from 60 to 45 working days, effective immediately. This change aims to streamline the release process for flu vaccines, ensuring timely availability for public health needs.
Policy Change Details
The new regulation specifies that all influenza vaccine batches will now be subject to a 45-working-day release timeline. This reduction is expected to enhance the efficiency of vaccine distribution and reduce delays in making vaccines available to the public.
Implementation and Transition
For products that were accepted for processing before the issuance of this notification but have not yet completed batch release, the previous 60-working-day deadline will still apply. This ensures a smooth transition to the new timeline without disrupting the release of vaccines already in the pipeline.-Fineline Info & Tech
