The World Health Organisation’s technical lead on Covid-19, Maria van Kerkhove, had reportedly stated that Omicron will not be the last variant of Covid-19 and the world might see the origin of more variants in future. This makes it imperative for governments across the world to keep examining and analysing more vaccines.
: DGCI gives nod to SII’s proposal to manufacture Covid vaccine against Omicron variant for test, analysis
In a scneario like this, DGCI’s possible approval for testing of vaccine against Omicron is definitely a welcome step. Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had earlier announced that the DGCI had approved emergency use permission to single-dose Sputnik Light Covid vaccine in the country. Sputnik Light is the ninth vaccine to be granted restricted-use approval by the Drugs Controller General of India for adults in India. “This will further strengthen the nation’s collective fight against the pandemic,” Mandaviya had tweeted.
