Bharat Biotech voluntarily recalls combo pack for package printing error

Hyderabad headquartered vaccine manufacturer Bharat Biotech has on Wednesday announced voluntarily recalling a combo pack of two vaccines owing to printing error on package.

In a statement, the vaccine maker said the voluntary recall confined to a single batch of 40,000 vials of combo pack (Comvac 3 and Biohib vaccine) as a precautionary and safety measure due to wrong detailing on the carton printing.

The company said there were no quality issues pertaining to the said two distinct component vaccine batches and that the recall was purely because of printing error.

Bharat Biotech, in its statement said, "After a swift investigation the company also informed the state drug authorities, center drug authorities and its CFA, marketing agents, vaccine administrators and doctors."
