We must classify all vaccines, including Abdala, one by one, and not just antigens, but all medicines imported or manufactured in Mexico. All serious remedies are approved by Cofepris, he indicated.
Clark recalled that the Abdala vaccine submitted all its documentation to Cofepris a year ago, so he said it is nothing new.
