India’s drug regulator on Friday given a nod to Zydus Cadila’s three-dose Coronavirus DNA vaccine for emergency use in adults and children aged 12 years and above.

Zydus Cadila becomes the country’s first vaccine for adolescents in the 12-18 age group. It is also the second indigenous one after Bharat Biotech-ICMR’s Covaxin.

As per reports, the vaccine has shown 66.6% primary efficacy for symptomatic RT-PCR positive cases in phase-III clinical trials which was conducted on 28,000 volunteers, which was the largest vaccine trial so far in India for COVID-19.

The company said it plans to manufacture 100 million to 120 million doses of the vaccine annually and has started to stockpile the vaccine.
