Daiichi Sankyo vaccine joint venture Kitasato Daiichi Sankyo Vaccine will begin supplying flu vaccines starting at the end of October. The supply, originally scheduled for mid-September, was postponed Sept. 22 due to the contamination of avian renovirus, which was found to have affected 2.36 million doses, more than half of a total projected supply of 4.78 million. The first supply will be 1.2 million doses, which were confirmed to have cleared Japanese health standards, according to the company. The second supply of 1.22 million is scheduled between November and December. Daiichi will produce an additional 1.2 million doses to be shipped at the beginning of the next year.
