Several persons in Bhopal who had volunteered for Bharat Biotech’s ongoing trial of Covaxin, one of the two COVID vaccine candidates approved in India, alleged that the medical managers of the trial didn’t inform them that they were test subjects.

In the letters addressed to the PM and Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, these NGOs have also sought punishment for the responsible parties who were negligent in ensuring the safety, well being and the rights of the trial participants . They also demanded monetary compensation for damages caused during the Covaxin trial in Bhopal .
