Government to set guidance document for trials of vaccines, treatment

No process in vaccine development trials will be skipped, but approvals to carry out multiple phases of trials parallel-ly may be given. The Government of India is now preparing a document for companies and institutions as guideline for COVID-19 vaccines. Currently, there are five promising candidate vaccines from India including Covaxin, Bharat Biotech and Zydus Cadilla which have received clearance by DCGI for early human trials.

“The guidance document outlines maintaining rigour while also fast-tracking the process.”
