The Union Health Ministry has turned down the proposal of pharma company Dr. Reddy’s laboratories to conduct the third phase trial of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine. The decision comes amid rising concerns of global health experts over the vaccine that has been tested only on a small group of overseas population. The committee formed to take decisions on the vaccine has advised Dr. Reddy's to consider a small trial.
