Approval To Covaxin Premature, Could Be Dangerous: Shashi Tharoor

Taking to Twitter, Member of Parliament from Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram said, “The Covaxin has not yet had Phase 3 trials. Approval was premature and could be dangerous.” He further urged Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan to avoid Covaxin till full trials are over.

“Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan should please clarify. Its use should be avoided till full trials are over. India can start with the AstraZeneca vaccine in the meantime,” he said in the tweet.
