HYDERABAD: Bharat Biotech, which completed the Phase 2/3 trials of C-19 vaccine Covaxin for use in children under 18 years of age, has submitted the data to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for its verification and subsequent approval for Emergency Use Authorisation for the jab, company sources said on Wednesday.
“Covaxin clinical trial data of 2-18 years age group has been submitted to CDSCO. This is feasible due to the safety of the manufacturing platform and empirical evidence from Phase 1,2 and 3 clinical trials in adults,” sources told.
