Vaccine for Shigellosis

Shigellosis is an infectious disease caused by a group of bacteria called Shigella. It primarily affects the digestive system and is a common cause of diarrhea, especially in children.
There’s no licensed Shigella vaccine available for general use yet, but the race is on—and it’s heating up.
Recently , Bharat Biotech has partnered with GSK plc for the development of a vaccine for Shigellosis.
