Russia And India In Talks For Sputnik V

Russia has reached out to India for mass manufacturing of the Sputnik-V vaccine as well as its Phase III trials in the country, shared Dr. Vinod Paul, member of the NITI Aayog in the health ministry press conference on Tuesday. 

Russia intends to collaborate with India to produce the vaccine through its manufacturing channels as India is known to be the land of mass vaccine development. Phase III trials of Sputnik V may also be conducted in the country if approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, said Dr. Paul.
