MP Tharoor Warns Health Ministry Over Approval Of Premature Covaxin
Reacting to emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the premature authorization of ‘Covaxin’ may be unsafe as it is still undergoing the Phase-3 clinical trials. Moreover, he requested Health Minister Harsh Vardhan to wait for the final stage of Covaxin, meanwhile resort to the AstraZeneca vaccine. Earlier, Indian Drug Controller General had announced emergency and restricted use of COVID vaccines from Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech.
