Abstract :
The 100-year-old Pasteur Institute of Iran is a research, manufacturing, and
educational institute providing services in terms of public health. It has taken
great steps towards producing required vaccines in Iran. The institute has played
a key role in controlling infectious diseases in Iran by producing many vaccines
such as smallpox, cholera, Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) and recombinant
hepatitis B as well as introducing infectious disease control programs and making
use of diagnostic laboratories. The institute is currently pursuing a program to
develop its production lines for human polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines and
viral vaccines for the health system of Iran. This paper reviews manufacturing
activities of this institute over the past 100 years.
