Livestocks Department and FDA assure anti-rabies vaccines up to standard

 

 

The Livestock Development Department (LDD) has brushed aside public criticism that its anti-rabies vaccines are substandard, resulting in the outbreak of rabies which has claimed five lives in recent weeks.

 

LDD deputy director-general Chirasak Pipatpongsophon said Friday (March 16) that rabies outbreak were not caused by the use of substandard vaccines to control the disease.

 

He, however, admitted that, in 2016, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) made a random check of anti-rabies vaccines imported from Spain and found out that the efficacy of the vaccines was below standard.
