Polio Vaccines Market Is Growing Rapidly With Sanofi Pasteur India Launching Four-In-One Vaccine For Preschoolers To Protect Against Polio, Tetanus, Pertussis, And Diphtheria

 

Polio Vaccines Market

Polio vaccines have greatly reduced the cases of poliomyelitis in children. Since it was discovered that polioviruses could live in the mucous membranes of the lungs, the US Public Health Service (PHS) started introducing a vaccine into the population, designed to protect against this disease. Since then, there have been extensive researches aimed at producing better vaccines, which can now reach children in their early childhood. Polio vaccines are mainly vaccines used to prevent paralytic poliomyelitis, a disease caused by infection with bacteria called spherocyte bacteria. Two categories are available namely an intramuscularly vaccinated poliovirus (IVM) and an orally ingested poliovirus (OPV).

Increasing proactive government initiatives for polio vaccination to curb the spread of polio is expected to drive growth of the global polio vaccines market. The government of many countries and international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or the United Nations (UN) are launching polio vaccination programs to provide vaccines in remote places of emerging economies. For instance, in January 2021, the President of India launched a countrywide vaccination program for polio called ‘Pulse Polio 2021’. Under this vaccination program, around 170,000,000 million children aged 5 years and below will be given polio drops. Furthermore, in October 2020, the WHO announced to grant emergency approval for the polio vaccine by the end of the year for a type of polio that is spreading in the Southern Hemisphere. Such initiatives are expected to propel the global polio vaccines market. Furthermore, rigorous monitoring and data-driven planning of vaccination are expected to propel the global polio vaccines market growth in the near future.

Poor sanitation and low routine immunization rates in emerging economies are expected to hinder the global polio vaccines market growth in the near future. Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global polio vaccines market. This is owing to proactive initiatives taken of immunization programs by government authorities against polio disease in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to high rates of childbirth and population density in the region.

Key players involved in the global polio vaccines market are GlaxoSmithKline, Serum Institute India Pvt. Ltd., Merck & Co, MedImmune, LLC, Sanofi Pasteur, Pfizer, CSL Limited, Johnson & Johnson, Astellas Pharma Inc., and Emergent BioSolutions, Inc.

For instance, in September 2020, Sanofi Pasteur India, a subsidiary of Sanofi Pasteur, launched the four-in-one (DTaP-IPV) vaccine Tetraxim in India. The vaccine is to protect preschoolers against tetanus, polio, pertussis, and diphtheria.

The Global Meningococcal Vaccines Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Demand from Healthcare Care Sectors across the World to Prevent the Spread of the Diseases Especially In Children

  Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics. Instead, they often resort to various forms of therapeutic interventions that may even improve their chances of developing a positive outcome. Meningococcal vaccines are now available for meningococcal meningitis, as well as for men who have had other prior bouts of meningitis. Some vaccines used for these purposes are PPSV, Rallo, and Q fever type 1. These vaccines

Increasing Geriatric Population Is Driving the Growth of the Sexual Health Market

       Sexual health is an important part of a person’s physical and mental health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sexual health requires a respectful and positive approach to sexual relationships and sexuality, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, violence, and discrimination. Sexual health leads to a healthy sex life without any sexually transmitted diseases, and to take preventive measures to avoid sexually transmitted infections. The elderly population (geriatric population) often suffer from one or more sexual disorders, such as premature (early) ejaculation, erectile dysfunctions, dyspareunia, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder, among others. Thus, with the increasing geriatric population worldwide, the prevalence/incidence of sexual disorders is also increasing, driving the growth of the sexual health market . According to WHO, the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to tota
