In India, companies have joined hands to develop a vaccine to contain the deadly Covid virus that has already infected over 86 lakh people in the country. Generally, it takes years of research and testing to get a vaccine ready and produce it on a large scale, but owing to the pandemic, scientists are working tirelessly to launch a vaccine as soon as possible.
Right now, eight pharma majors i.e. Bharat Biotech, Serum Institute of India, Panacea Biotech, Dr. Reddy’s, Indian Immunologicals, Zydus Cadila, Mynvax, and Biological E are working towards Covid-19 vaccine in India.
If an Indian firm becomes a frontrunner in coming up with a vaccine, it would not only aid in speeding up the healthcare process but would also transform the Indian pharma industry's reputation from being a mass producer of generics to a drug innovator.
