It is understood that the HPV vaccines currently on the market in the world include the bivalent vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline in the UK, the tetravalent vaccine and the bivalent vaccine produced by methadone in the United States, and the bivalent vaccine produced by Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co.Ltd(603392) in which methadone's HPV vaccine jiadaxiu is managed by Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co.Ltd(300122) exclusively.
