New Delhi: The much-awaited World Health Organization’s (WHO) nod for India’s indigenous vaccine, Covaxin is expected this week.
Recognition from the global health body will allow people vaccinated with Covaxin to travel abroad without restrictions as some countries only accept COVID-19 vaccines approved by WHO.
The indigenous vaccine ‘Covaxin’ is manufactured by Hyderabad-based manufacturer Bharat Biotech.
Covaxin is one of the three vaccines that is being administered in the country.
Bharat Biotech said it was exploring opportunities with its international partners who have expertise in commercial-scale manufacturing of inactivated viral vaccines.
