Since 2022, the out-of-stock situation of the only cat triple vaccine in China, " Miaosanduo ", has not yet alleviated.

html On December 20, according to Times Finance, many pet hospitals in Guangzhou, Miaosanduo are still out of stock, and some hospitals even need to make an appointment half a month in advance.

is still out of stock, and news of fake vaccines has also leaked out of the market. In late January this year, a user from Weibo posted a message saying that a pet hospital in Beijing lacked Miaosanduo in the market this year. The hospital used VB12 to blend fatty milk into pink suspension and used it for the cat, which was charged 160 yuan.

Miaosanduo, namely, the triple inactivated vaccine for cat rhinitis, embedding virus disease, and panthreonopia. It is a cat vaccine under Zuoten . It is currently the only cat inactivated vaccine for cats with a batch number of veterinary drugs in China. The product was approved and registered by , the Ministry of Agriculture of China, in 2011, and entered the Chinese market. The product manual shows that Miaosanduo can be used to prevent cat rhinotracheitis, cholesterol virus disease and panthenopia.

Miaosanduo continues to be out of stock

On major media platforms, the information about Miaosanduo's out of stock is not an isolated case. On Douban and Zhihu , some netizens asked about Miaosanduo's out of stock as early as the end of 2020; Douyin and Xiaohongshu also had consultations on Miaosanduo's out of stock in the second half of 2021.

Regarding the issue of out-of-stock in the second half of 2021, Zoeteng stated in a public statement in September 2021 that Miaosanduo's out-of-stock in that year was mainly due to the impact of the epidemic.

Zoten said that in July 2021, in response to epidemic prevention and control requirements, cargoes sent to China from the United States need to be disinfected before boarding, which delayed the scheduled flights and stayed in the United States for two more days, resulting in a batch of 400,000-piece Miaosanduo vaccines being scrapped beyond the transportation insulation time limit; in late August, five international flight unloaders were found to be infected with the new coronavirus at Shanghai Pudong Airport, resulting in the isolation of 300 unloaders at all, and the international cargo unloading capacity of Pudong Airport sharply reduced.

The above reasons all caused the supply of the Miaosanduo vaccine market in the second half of 2021. As a result, a half-year out-of-stock wave of "Miaosanduo" hit. As of now, this phenomenon has not been alleviated.

At the end of January this year, Zoten service hotline operator told Interface News reporters that a batch of vaccines was scrapped due to the epidemic. When new vaccines arrived, they would be shipped closely to previous orders. However, with the increase in the number of pets and the increase in the demand for pet immunity, and the tension in the epidemic in the United States has not yet eased, vaccine productivity has not been improved in the short term, and the Miaosanduo vaccine is still in a state of shortage of supply.

A doctor in a pet hospital in Shanghai introduced that Miaosanduo's out-of-stock situation has always existed, and the latest out-of-stock has lasted for half a year; the current out-of-stock situation in the hospital has eased, and pet owners can usually make an appointment one week in advance to get vaccinated as scheduled; but at the end of 2021, the out-of-stock product is relatively serious, and pet owners can only let them go back and wait when they come.

The aforementioned doctor said that for the current cat triple vaccine, only foreign companies in China, Miaosanduo, has been approved by Miaosanduo, and no domestically produced similar products have been approved yet. The corresponding number of approved products is huge market demand. It is generally recommended that cats receive two shots as planned after the first vaccination and change to the vaccine, and then one shot will be given every year. The unit has a monthly vaccination demand of about 80-100 shots; in terms of product prices, the price of Miaosanduo in Shanghai is about 140-180 yuan per dose; in addition, there is still a fake vaccine in the industry, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for vaccination.

However, some doctors at Shanghai Pet Hospital also revealed that Miaosanduo's stock was relatively serious in 2021 and has improved recently, but some hospitals with large consumption still have shortages.

It is worth noting that during the out-of-stock period of Miaosanduo, it was also found that the fake Miaosanduo vaccine was not written on the market. The industry self-media Cathouse School reported at the end of October 2021 that the number of practitioners in drug supply, veterinary drug licensed stores, etc., also reported that the number of "parallel goods" is increasing.The pet industry observation official account published an article in October 2021. Due to the shortage of Miaosanduo, some unscrupulous merchants tried their best to recycle empty bottles and falsify them. Some pet owners would purchase vaccines on the Internet and then go to the hospital to ask doctors for help. Considering the authenticity of the vaccine and the inability to protect the risk of cold chain transportation of , it is actually very unsafe for small animals.

"The vaccines received by regular pet hospitals will be more guaranteed. The hospital directly contacts Zoteng or agents to purchase goods, but there are still many parallel products for vaccinations received in pet supplies stores, pet beauty salons, and cathouses. Some businesses will also introduce a marketing method of buying cats and giving vaccines. There were even rumors that someone used Li Ziyuan drinks to impersonate the Miaosanduo vaccine," the aforementioned doctor said.

A doctor in a pet hospital in Zhejiang also said that due to the ongoing epidemic, there is still a shortage of Miaosanduo vaccine in recent days. Considering the reasons for the epidemic, all cases are recommended to make an appointment in advance. Kittens will give priority to retaining vaccines for the first time when they are vaccinated. At the same time, if cats insist on getting vaccinated every year, it is recommended to test the antibodies for them first. If the antibodies are sufficient, it is not recommended to repeatedly vaccinate them; all small animals will have an immunization for normal vaccination. This is used to paste the vaccine label, and each vaccine will have a label. It is recommended that pet owners keep it as needed.

Local enterprises have started

vaccination has always been a large proportion of pet medical care. The "2021 China Pet Medical White Paper" (Consumption Report) pointed out that the first ranking of domestic pet owners who take pets to pet hospitals is vaccination, accounting for 70.3%. In addition, cat infectious disease vaccines account for 44.6% of the vaccination volume, ranking first; rabies vaccines account for 30.8%. It can be seen that the demand for pet vaccination is rising in the country.

However, compared with the growing consumer demand, fewer domestic companies are engaged in pet vaccine development. For a long time, domestic animal vaccines have focused on the fields of large animals and meat animals, and the development of pet vaccines has started relatively late. It was not until 2000 that the dog five-union vaccine was developed by academicians of Xia Xianzhu and their team members. As a result, the domestic pet vaccine market is also dominated by imported products, with Zoten, Meria, Intway , French Vic, Boehringer Ingelheim and Hybores having nearly 90% of the market share. In terms of localization, public information shows that Zoeteng held a groundbreaking ceremony for the vaccine factory in Suzhou in late April 2018. The vaccine factory passed the new version of veterinary medicine certification inspection of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on December 11, 2021, which is one step closer to the real estate development of Miaosanduo.

In addition, local animal vaccine companies have also made some layout measures. Among them, the listed company Bioshares had an early layout. In 2018, the company announced that it would increase its investment in pet vaccines. The company's 2020 annual report shows that its dog quadruple and dog triple vaccines are in the clinical application stage; Cat quadruple are in the pilot stage; the marketed rabies vaccines sold 1.9 million pieces this year. In July 2021, Zhang Chongyu, chairman of Biotech Co., Ltd., also said in an interview with " Shanghai Securities News " that the company's "small goal" is to become the top ten companies in the world in the field of animal welfare vaccines.

In addition to BioShare, in 2020, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Chen Huanchun held shares in Science and Technology Innovation Board listed companies Keqian Biological mainly dog ​​quadruple and rabies vaccines, and are both approved products. In addition, in its 2020 annual report, Preco announced that it had begun to establish a pet product division within the year. The rabies vaccine has been approved, the dog 2 alliance has entered the clinical trial stage, and the dog 4 alliance and the cat 3 alliance projects are underway.

In September 2021, Kanghua Animal Insurance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kanghua Bio, held an opening ceremony in Chengdu and officially laid out the field of high-end pet rabies vaccines. In May 2021, Yingke Capital Holdings AiPeo Bio-invests investment in the research and development of pet vaccines. On February 9 this year, AiPeng Bio's subscription account issued a document showing that the company's domestic cat triple inactivated vaccine has entered the clinical trial stage. At present, the research and development of the cat triple vaccine of Ai Pet Bio is at the forefront of similar products.
