China Healthcare Weekly (Sep.15) – Anti-Corruption Turnaround? Vaccine Policy Changes, Kangtai Bio

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The National Health Commission and The People’s Daily made “mild” statements about anti-corruption in China healthcare, bringing investors “new hope”. However, there could be a “misconception” regarding the anti-corruption movement. 
  • There was news that some type 2 vaccines could be converted to type 1 vaccines. Even though some vaccines will be affected by this policy, others will not.
  • Kangtai’s had strong 23H1 net profit, but it has little investment value due to lack of core R&D strength.Kangtai’s vaccines face the risk of being included in national immunization program.

By Daniel Hellberg
