India's first indigenous mRNA vaccine likely to be available soon

Soon India may have its first indigenous mRNA vaccine that is stable at 2-8 degrees Celsius as the expert panel advising the Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) has green-signalled Gennova Biopharma's mRNA vaccine candidate for Covid19.

The Subject Expert Committee (SEC) has recommended granting the Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) to the country's first mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine in a meeting held on Friday, according to reports.

Now, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) will take a final call on granting the final approval.

The SEC has reviewed data from the trials done on 4000 volunteers.
