Hepatitis E Vaccine in China

The world’s first vaccine against hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been approved by Chinese health authorities, according to ChinaDaily.com. The approval of the three-dose vaccine, called Hecelon (HEV 239), follows encouraging results from a study reported in an August 2011 issue of The Lancet suggesting an efficacy rate of 100 percent.

No word on whether this has proved effective or whether it is coming stateside anytime soon.
