New Delhi: Bharat Biotech on Friday said it has submitted all the data to the World Health Organisation (WHO) for Emergency Use Listing (EUL) of its COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin and is awaiting feedback from the UN Public Health Agency.
In a series of tweets, Bharat Biotech said that Covaxin clinical trial was fully compiled and available in June 2021.
"#COVAXIN clinical trial data was fully compiled and available in June 2021. All Data was submitted for Emergency Use Listing (EUL) Application to World Health Organization in early July. We have responded to any clarifications sought by #WHO and are awaiting further feedback," Bharat Biotech tweeted.
As a responsible manufacturer with past approvals for its other vaccines, the company said it would not find it appropriate to speculate or comment on the approval process and its timelines, it further said.
"We are continuing to work diligently on obtaining WHO EUL at the earliest," it added.
Earlier on Monday, the sources said that the World Health Organisation's (WHO) approval for Covaxin, is expected this week.
