The AIIMS is unable to find the required number of volunteers for the phase-3 trial of Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 vaccine, with officials saying people are unwilling to participate in the exercise thinking why to take part in a trial when a vaccine would be available soon for everybody.

AIIMS in the national capital is one of the sites conducting the final phase of the trial of the vaccine, "Covaxin", and it needs around 1,500 volunteers for the purpose.
