HYDERABAD, May 1: First batch of Russian vaccine for Covid-19, Sputnik V, arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday.
A special cargo flight carrying the first consignment landed at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
It was immediately not clear how many doses have arrived. The consignment was delivered to Dr Reddy’s Laboratories which has entered into an agreement with the Russian vaccine maker.
The company will seek mandatory approval of Central Drugs Laboratory for distribution of the vaccine in the country.
“First batch of Sputnik V has arrived in Hyderabad, India. That’s the same day the country starts mass Covid vaccination drive covering entire adult population. Let’s jointly defeat this pandemic. Together we are stronger,” tweeted Sputnik V.
Last month, the Indian regulators had granted regulatory approval or restricted use authorisation to Sputnik V. (IANS)
