Referring to the coronavirus vaccine developed by Moscow, Mazumdar-Shaw said that the world had not seen any data from the vaccine candidate’s phase-I and phase-II human trials.
“If launching a vaccine prior to completion of Phase-III trials is acceptable to Russia, well so be it,” Mazumdar-Shaw had told news agency PTI.
Kiran said that India needs to draw up its immunisation strategy now itself on the administration of vaccine for COVID-19 on the population when it comes out.
“Vaccine is anybody’s guess. Right from the end of this year to the middle of next year is the prediction,” the Executive Chairperson of the city-headquartered biopharmaceuticals Biocon Ltd said.
