Bharat Biotech, the manufacturer of coronavirus vaccine Covaxin, on Wednesday criticised a recent study that found that its jab produced significantly fewer antibodies than Covishield.
In a statement, the Hyderabad-based company claimed that the study “had lots of flaws”, ANI reported.
The company also said that the phase 3 trial data for Covaxin will be made public in July. The indigenously developed vaccine was granted an emergency use authorisation in January – despite there being no phase 3 trial data. The company had then said it would submit efficacy results by March.
Even as questions remain on the efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines in the case of COVID-19, the ministry of AYUSH said it will distribute AYUSH 64 and Kabasura Kudineer medicines to out-of-hospital patients.
