About Serum Institute of India (SII):

What all SII produce including Vaccine?

The company started out to create immunobiologicals, which were expensively imported into India. Tetanus antitoxin, snake venom, the DPT vaccine, and the MMR vaccine were some of the first goods the Serum Institute of India produced in substantial quantities.

A number of immunisations against bacterial or viral illnesses, combination vaccines, influenza vaccines, and meningococcal vaccines were added to the company’s product lines. The company also produces antisera, blood plasma, and hormone products in addition to vaccines.

As of 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and the Pan American Health Organization employed the vaccines produced by the Serum Institute of India in their global immunization campaigns (PAHO). The Poonawalla Group currently oversees the Serum Institute of India, which conducts research, development, and manufacturing.
