New Delhi: Prime time debates Tuesday were focused on the Covid-19 vaccines and their expected rollout on 13 January. While the two vaccines Covishield and Covaxin have received approval from the government, the latter vaccine has been the subject of much criticism. Developed by Bharat Biotech and the Indian Council of Medical Research, Covaxin has neither released efficacy data nor has it completed Phase 3 trials.
