The company said in a statement on Wednesday, “As far as ongoing testing in India is concerned, it is going on and no problem has been revealed in it.” The Serum Institute has a manufacturing partnership with AstraZeneca to produce one billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine is being developed by Oxford University.
The Indian company is conducting clinical trials of a possible vaccine for AstraZeneca in India. The Drug Controller of India had last month allowed the Pune-based company to test the vaccine in India in Phase II and Phase III.The Serum Institute has said that after a person has an unknown disease, the company has postponed further testing in view of the standard review of his drug test. This will give the researchers the opportunity to check the safety data of the drug while maintaining the veracity of the test. #innlive
