GREATER NOIDA: Phase III trials of Indian pharma major Zydus Cadila’s Covid-19 vaccine at a Ghaziabad hospital ran into controversy on Tuesday when an unrecognised private laboratory at Dadri in Greater Noida that had an understanding with the hospital was found to be administering the shots.
Five people present in the lab, all employees of the hospital, according to health department officials, were arrested. Noida’s chief medical officer said the laboratory was not authorised to administer any vaccine. Officials said 19 people had taken the shots at the lab, all on Tuesday.
