“Trial for third phase of Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine product of Bharat Biotech, to start in Haryana on 20th November.

On Monday, Bharat Biotech had announced it had started phase three trials of Covaxin. The Hyderabad-based firm has developed Covaxin indigenously in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and is also conducting its trials in partnership with the government body.
