Japanese Encephalitis kills thousands of children across Asia and leaves thousands more disabled. A new vaccine, developed and manufactured in China, is being rolled out across Southern Asia for the first time. A major hindrance in the past has been the cost of the drug but the new manufacturing process is more streamlined, making the drug much cheaper. Kill or Cure examines the impact of the vaccine’s introduction into India.
