Jacome revealed to news agency ANI that he participated in the Phase-3 trials of Covaxin held in Haryana’s Rohtak with his wife. “I did research about the vaccine. Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute are very good companies,” he said.
“In 28 days I need to get second injection and then wait for 14 days,” he said.
The Phase III human clinical trials of Covaxin began mid-November, targeted to be done in 26,000 volunteers and it is the country’s first and only Phase III efficacy study for a COVID-19 vaccine, and the largest phase III efficacy trial ever conducted for any vaccine in India, a press release from the vaccine maker had said.
