Vaccine Impact

IntroductionRotavirus infection accounts for 39% of under-five diarrhoeal deaths globally and 22% of these deaths occur in India. Introduction of rotavirus vaccine in a national immunisation programme is considered to be the most effective intervention in preventing severe rotavirus disease. In 2016, India introduced an indigenous rotavirus vaccine (Rotavac) into the Universal Immunisation Programme in a phased manner. This paper describes the protocol for surveillance to monitor the performance of rotavirus vaccine following its introduction into the routine childhood immunisation programme.MethodsAn active surveillance system was established to identify acute gastroenteritis cases among children less than 5 years of age. For all children enrolled at sentinel sites, case reporting forms are completed and a copy of vaccination record and a stool specimen obtained. The forms and specimens are sent to the referral laboratory for data entry, analysis, testing and storage. Data from sentinel sites in states that have introduced rotavirus vaccine into their routine immunisation schedule will be used to determine rotavirus vaccine impact and effectiveness.Ethics and disseminationThe Institutional Review Board of Christian Medical College, Vellore, and all the site institutional ethics committees approved the project. Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and with stakeholders of the universal immunisation programme in India.

Indian Scenario

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of the review is to provide current updates on regulations for ethics committees and researchers in India. Background Ethical dilemmas in research since time immemorial have been a major concern for researchers worldwide. The question “what makes clinical research ethical” is significant and difficult to answer as multiple factors are involved. Review results The research involving human participants in clinical trials should follow the required rules, regulations, and guidelines in one's own country. It is a dynamic process, and updates have to be learned by researcher and committee members. The review highlights the ethical regulation from the Drug Controller General of India, Clinical Trial Registry of India, and Indian Council of Medical Research guidelines. Conclusion In this article, the updates on Indian scenario of the Ethical Committee and guidelines are compiled. Clinical significance The review comes handy for clinical researchers and ethics committee members in academic institutions to check on the current updates and keep abreast with the knowledge on regulations of ethics in India.

Described below are 2 Products developed by us which after undergoing successful clinical trials and approval of the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) and Institutional Ethics Committees, have been transferred to Industry for making these available to potential users. These are: [1] a Polyherbal formulation BASANT with inhibitory action on a wide spectrum of genital pathogens, and [2] 3 strains of Lactobacilli (Pro-vag-Health) that make and secrete high amounts of lactic acid, are hydrophobic to enable colonization and possess arginine deiminase, the enzyme preventing the formation of foul odour derivatives. The combined use of BASANT and pro-vag-Health in the Product NAUROZ, has the highest efficacy ever achieved for curing recurrent episodes of vaginosis.
