The only manufacturer producing vaccines and bio-products has re-opened today (22 October) after being closed for 10 years due to the lack of equipment and accommodation problems.

The factory has capacity of producing 25 types of biological products such as albumin, immunoglobulin, histamine as well as vaccines against rabies, typhoid and liver viruses.

The factory was founded in 1932 for smallpox prevention and treatment. In 1939, it began to produce an anti-smallpox vaccine which helped to eradicate the illness in Mongolia the following year.
