News 18  

The recommendations of the Drugs Controller General of India on Zydus Cadila’s ZyCoV-D three-dose vaccine are likely to be out soon, NITI Aayog member VK Paul said on Friday. Zydus has said the vaccine, which is a three-course regimen, showed safety and efficacy in a late-stage trial with more than 28,000 volunteers across the country, including about 1,000 subjects in the 12-18-year age group. The candidate, if approved, would become India’s second successful home-grown Covid-19 shot and help ease the country’s severe vaccine shortage. Zydus said the study was carried out “during the peak of the second wave of COVID-19″ in India and reaffirmed the vaccine’s efficacy against new mutant variants, especially, the Delta variant.
