Namun, setelah melalui berbagai proses lanjutan, yaitu dilakukan pencucian  dengan media-media cair  tertentu hingga akhirnya produksi, produk akhir vaksin sudah tidak mengandung  enzim tersebut. “Karena kalu mengandung enzim tersebut berarti  rusak atau tidak mungkin. Enzim Tripsin disini hanya sebagai media, setelah itu enzim ini  tidak akan terbawa  lagi pada vaksin, “kata Mahsun dalam seminar awam bertema “ Pencegahan Penyakit Menular di Sekolah,” di depok, Jawa Barat, Sabtu (11/4). Meski demikian, Bio Farma terus berupaya melakukan pengembangan vaksin polio tersebut. Mahsun  juga menegaskan , vaksin Produksi Bio Farma yang digunakan untuk imunisasi  telah mendapat sertifikat  lulus dari BPOM. Karena itu, masyarakat tidak perlu khawatir terkait isu yang beredar mengenai imunisasi dan vaksin. “Vaksin produksi Bio Farma telah melalui pengesahan dari pemerintah dan lembaga seperti MUI.” Ÿ c73 ed : Wachidah Handasah Sumber : Republika

Currently, as many as 40 percent of the entire vaccine production of Bio Farma is used to meet domestic needs, while 60 percent, said Erwin is to meet the needs of overseas or exports. Of their achievement, Bio Farma was awarded Primaniyarta from the government as the most outstanding exporter since 2010 to 2014.

However, after going through a variety of advanced process, which is cleaned with certain liquid media until the end product of vaccine does not contain such enzyme. "Because if it does contain such enzyme it will then be damaged or impracticable. The Enzyme trypsin acts only as a medium, after which the enzyme does not settle in the vaccine,”said Mahsun in the seminar entitled "Prevention of Communicable Diseases in Schools," in Depok, West Java, Saturday (11/4). However, Bio Farma continues to strive to develop the polio vaccine. Mahsun also asserted, Production of Bio Farma vaccine used for immunization has obtained a certificate from BPOM.
