Let us tell you that last month, Bharat Biotech International Limited contacted the Central Government regarding the nasal vaccine Incovac. In November, Bharat Biotech requested the central government to include its nasal anti-Covid drug ‘Incovac’ (iNCOVACC) in the Covin portal, so that people taking it can get a certificate of vaccination.
Let us tell you that right now Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, Serum Institute’s Covishield and Covax, Russia’s Sputnik V and Biological E Limited’s Corbevax have been listed in the Covin portal. The vaccine maker announced on September 6 that the world’s first nasal anti-Covid-19 drug ‘Incovac’ (BBV154) has received the approval of the Drug Controller General of India for limited use in emergency situations. After getting approval for use in other countries, Bharat Biotech also plans to export Incovac.
