India to Develop Swine Flu Vaccine by Early Next Year: Azad
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here on Friday, Azad said: "The big animal trial is complete and now human trial will start from January, which will take two months. We didn't want to do human trial on one or two persons rather we will do human trial on few hundreds. Besides this, we would also do human trial on zone basis like south and north as our population has different climatic adoptions...I think by the end of February or by the first week of March we will be through with human trial and I am sure by the end of March or by the first week of April it (vaccine) should be available in the market."
Three major pharmaceutical concerns, - Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech and Panacea Biotech - are working on developing the vaccine.
More than 800 persons have succumbed to this deadly virus in India and around 24,500 people have tested positive for the H1N1 virus, which was first detected in southern Hyderabad city in May.
