Zoetis to Seek Approval for PEDV Vaccine

August 6, 2014 — 

An official with animal health company Zoetis says the company is seeking U.S. approval before the end of this year for a PEDv vaccine.

There is only one other vaccine to help prevent Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus in pigs – by Harrisvaccines, which was granted conditional approval from the USDA for its vaccine in June.

The CEO of Zoetis (Juan Ramon Alaix) told analysts during a quarterly earnings conference call on Tuesday that the company would seek a conditional license from the USDA before 2015.
