New Delhi, Nov 24: Russia’s single-dose Sputnik Light Covid-19 vaccine will be launched in India by December, 2021, said Kirill Dmitriev, CEO, Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) in a webinar on Wednesday.
The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) permitted Dr Reddy’s Laboratory Limited to conduct phase-3 bridging trials in September.
Sputnik Light is the same as component-1 of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V which is being used in India’s anti-Covid inoculation programme after getting emergency use authorisation from India’s Drug Regulator in April. (IANS)
