It is expected that the 2nd & 3rd Phases of Testing of the corona vaccine intended for infants will be completed before September.
It is expected that permission would be given immediately by the end of September to undertake the administration of this new vaccine for infants.
It is well-known that it has been warned that the 3rd wave of the corona, when it occurs, is likely to affect children/infants much more severely. As such, trial vaccination has been undertaken for the infants in the AIIMS Hospitals in Delhi & Patna by administering vaccination to the persons in the age group 2-17.
It is worth noting here that Bharath Biotech has been given permission by the Indian Medical Research Council on 12th May to undertake the trial vaccination of Covaccine in the 2nd & 3rd Phases
